Abbreviations To understand the amino acids' abbreviation, it is important to know why their names have been shorten in the first place. A reason is to make them easy to identify and to use more manageable three-letter system. For instance, the simplest amino acid, glycine isdepictedas H—...
What amino acid does the mRNA codon AAG code for? If part of the DNA coding strand for a bacterial gene is GGGAAATCTCACTTACATTAG, what amino acids appear in the protein being made? You can use the three-letter amino acid abbreviations shown in the amino acid chart rather th...
