Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The total number of possible tripeptides has to be identified.
(b)
Interpretation:
Is the four bases taken in group of three for each code is enough for establishing code for each of the 20 amino acids found in protein has to be identified.
(c)
Interpretation:
The total number of possible tetrapeptides has to be identified.
(d)
Interpretation:
Is the four bases taken in group of four for each code is enough for establishing code for each of the 20 amino acids found in protein has to be identified.
(e)
Interpretation:
The base code sequence for the tripeptide Leu-Ala-Val has to be written using the hypothetical code devised for the 20 amino acids in proteins.
