Table 8.2
Codons in mRNA molecule and their corresponding amino acids
$$\begin{array} { | c | c | c | c | } \hline \text { UUU } & \text { Phenylalanine } & \text { UAU } & \text { tyrosine } \\\hline \text { UUA } & \text { leucine } & \text { UAA } & \text { nonsense } \\\hline \text { GCA } & \text { alanine } & \text { AAU } & \text { asparagine } \\\hline \text { AAG } & \text { lysine } & \text { UGC } & \text { cysteine } \\\hline \text { GUU } & \text { valine } & \text { UCG, UCU } & \text { serine } \\\hline\end{array}$$
