Definitions:

Amino Acid Coding

Amino acid coding involves the use of codons in mRNA to specify which amino acids will be added during protein synthesis.

MRNA

Messenger RNA, a single-stranded RNA molecule that is complementary to one of the DNA strands of a gene and is responsible for carrying genetic information from DNA to the ribosome where proteins are synthesized.

Codons

Sequences of three nucleotides in mRNA that specify the addition of a specific amino acid to a polypeptide chain during protein synthesis.

Peripheral Protein

Proteins that are attached to the surfaces of cellular membranes, playing roles in signal transduction and cellular communication.
