Every protein in the human body starts with the codon -_. This is known as the codon because it's where the
binds & translation
starts. This means that the first amino acid in every human protein is
The start codon sets the reading frame, sets of
consecutive bases beginning at and following
each coding for one
Whenever you see the AUG codon in the middle of a sequence;
you should add
to your growing amino acid chain. Three codons
exist that do not code for an amino acid, but rather work to
translation. In
the codon chart, the word
is listed. When a ribosome reads one of these
codons, it releases the
strand & protein synthesis
