Structure of a typical L-alpha-amino acid in the "neutral" form. Amino acids are organic compounds that contain both amino and carboxylic acid functional groups. [1] Although over 500 amino acids exist in nature, by far the most important are the 22 α-amino acids incorporated into proteins. [2]
The first table—the standard table—can be used to translate nucleotide triplets into the corresponding amino acid or appropriate signal if it is a start or stop codon. The second table, appropriately called the inverse, does the opposite: it can be used to deduce a possible triplet code if the amino acid is known.
Stop codon (red dot) of the human mitochondrial DNA MT-ATP8 gene, and start codon (blue circle) of the MT-ATP6 gene. For each nucleotide triplet (square brackets), the corresponding amino acid is given (one-letter code), either in the +1 reading frame for MT-ATP8 (in red) or in the +3 frame for MT-ATP6 (in blue).
Amino acids are composed of a side chain , a basic amino group, and a carboxyl group. Based on an aminos R group every amino acid will react different because of shape or composition. They can be divided into four different groups non polar amino acids, polar amino acids, positively charged, and negatively charged R group.

This is the standard genetic code (NCBI table 1), in amino acid→codon form. By default it is the DNA code; for the RNA code (using Uracil rather than Thymine), add template parameter "T=U". Also listed are the compressed codon forme, using IUPAC nucleic acid notation. It's referenced in a couple of places, so have a single master copy.
An amino acid is any molecule that contains both amino and carboxylic acid functional groups. Subcategories. This category has the following 18 subcategories, out of ...
