Stopcodon
A stop codon is a nucleotide triplet within messenger RNA (mRNA) that signals a termination of protein synthesis during translation. In molecular biology, proteins are synthesized by ribosomes reading the genetic code encoded in mRNA sequences. While most codons specify an amino acid to be added to the growing polypeptide chain, stop codons do not code for an amino acid but instead act as signals to halt translation.
There are three universally recognized stop codons: UAA (Uracil-Adenine-Adenine), UAG (Uracil-Adenine-Guanine), and UGA (Uracil-Guanine-Adenine). These codons
Stop codons are crucial for ensuring that proteins are synthesized correctly and efficiently. Without them, translation
In some cases, organisms have evolved mechanisms to bypass or suppress stop codons, allowing for the production
