You`re one in a googol: optimizing genes for protein expression
... The standard genetic code encodes the 20 ubiquitous amino acids by 61 nucleotide triplets (codons). An amino acid may be encoded by as few as one or as many as six codons. This redundancy means that a protein can be encoded by many alternative nucleic acid sequences; a 300 amino acid protein of aver ...
