Title: Why isnt the number of nucleotides in a protein isn't exactly 3 times amino acid Post by: louiseinger on May 25, 2015 If I have a nucleotide sequence 1206 long, and and 401 amino acids present, what are those last 3 nucleotides? are they the stop codon?
Title: Re: Why isnt the number of nucleotides in a protein isn't exactly 3 times amino acid Post by: c.louis on May 25, 2015 Hi Louise, do you mind to tell me where do you get the number of 401? Is it described in the analyzer, (uniprot; ncbi; etc) or did you read that in an article? However, either way there is a high chance if the 3 nucleotides present to support the structure of the protein, if you have ever heard of protein nucleotide interaction.
Hope this helps ;D Title: Re: Why isnt the number of nucleotides in a protein isn't exactly 3 times amino acid Post by: louiseinger on May 26, 2015 ncbi results state the protein im analysing has 401 amino acids and 1206 nucleotides.
401 x 3 = 1203 are these 3 leftover the stop codon (in this sequence's case: TGA)?? |
