Amino acids biochemistry

There are 20 different amino acids in polypeptides synthesised on ribosomes AND Amino acids can be linked together in any sequence giving a huge range of possible polypeptides

9 essential amino acids are: - Methionine - Threonine - Histidine - Valine - Phenylalanine - Isoleucine - Tryptophan - Lysine - Leucine.

The genetic code, in DNA letters (T instead of U), and containing amino acids in three representations: full name, 3-letter abbreviation, and 1-letter. Drawn in Inkscape. How to read the genetic code: start from the center circle and go outwards. So, if the gene has an AGC, that means amino acid serine. A CGA means arginine. And three of the combinations are stop codons, which don't give any amino acid: TAA, TAG, and TGA.
