Author response: Measuring the tolerance of the genetic code to altered codon size

Year: 2022

Type: peer-review

Abstract: Although the genetic code uses three DNA base pairs to encode one amino acid, it is surprisingly tolerant to four-base codons, which can be used to incorporate nine of the twenty amino acids without any protein engineering.
