Acid Quote by Francis Crick

It now seems very likely that many of the 64 triplets, possibly most of them, may code one amino acid or another, and that…

The meaning of this observation is unclear, but it raises the unfortunate possibility of ambiguous triplets; that is, triplets which may code more than…

— Francis Crick

A comparison between the triplets tentatively deduced by these methods with the changes in amino acid sequence produced by mutation shows a fair measure…

— Francis Crick

The balance of evidence both from the cell-free system and from the study of mutation, suggests that this does not occur at random, and…

— Francis Crick

It has yet to be shown by direct biochemical methods, as opposed to the indirect genetic evidence mentioned earlier, that the code is indeed…

— Francis Crick

It would appear that the number of nonsense triplets is rather low, since we only occasionally come across them. However this conclusion is less…

— Francis Crick

Attempts have been made from a study of the changes produced by mutation to obtain the relative order of the bases within various triplets,…

“It is one of the striking generalizations of biochemistry—which surprisingly is hardly ever mentioned in the biochemical text-books—that the twenty amino acids and the…

“High dosing of a single amino acid can be done for a short period of time, but long term it may cause issues.”

— Steven Magee

It is one of the more striking generalizations of biochemistry - which surprisingly is hardly ever mentioned in the biochemical textbooks - that the…

“For example, all three partners cooperate to make nutrients. To create the amino acid phenylalanine, they need nine enzymes. Tremblaya can build 1,2,5,6,7, and…

It now seems certain that the amino acid sequence of any protein is determined by the sequence of bases in some region of a…
