  43. Codon Degeneracy -there are 20 amino acids but 64 codons -for some amino acid there is more than one codon -the last of the three bases is the least specific CGU CGC CGG Arg CGA AGA AGG UUU UUA UUG UUC CAA CAG Phe Gln AUG Met UGG Trp

  44. Post-translational modification After synthesis a protein can undergo one or more modifications. e.g. • Tertiary structure : regulated by chaperons • Glycosidation: addition of sugars • Proteolitic cleavage • Phosphorylation: addition of phosphate groups to Tyr, Thr and Ser. • Other....
