En uppsättning av tre nukleotider i en proteinkodningssekvens som anger de enskilda aminosyrorna eller en termineringssignal (terminatorkodon). De flesta kodon är universella, men vissa organismer producerar inte transfer-RNA, som utgör komplement till alla kodon. Sådana kodon kallas obestämda (nonsenskodon).
A set of three nucleotides in a protein coding sequence that specifies individual amino acids or a termination signal (CODON, TERMINATOR). Most codons are universal, but some organisms do not produce the transfer RNAs (RNA, TRANSFER) complementary to all codons. These codons are referred to as unassigned codons (CODONS, NONSENSE).
