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?

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  Grinning Face

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)??
