During protein synthesis, the genetic information stored in DNA is first transcribed into mRNA. The mRNA then travels to the ribosome, where translation occurs. Here's how anticodons facilitate the ...

After transcription, tRNA precursors undergo a multi-step maturation process, including modifications of the nucleotides, 5′ end and 3′ end processing and folding into the L-shaped tertiary structure ...

If the table of the genetic code is rearranged to put complementary codons face-to-face, it becomes apparent that the code displays latent mirror symmetry with respect to two sterically different ...
