SQ6: How do you respond to. . . AlexanderDounce . . . infinite regress
SQ6: How does protein synthesis avoid infinite regress? What ideas underlie this scheme?
SQ6: How does protein synthesis avoid infinite regress? AlexanderDounce
SQ5: Evidence that proteins are linear? Sanger and Tuppy (1951)
SQ6: How does protein synthesis avoid infinite regress? I don't fully understand the different kinds of genetic code. How would the ribosome know what is overlapping and what is not? Mechanism?

Types of Codes SQ18. The Morse Code uses only two symbols (short, long), yet it can specify each of the 26 letters of the English alphabet. How many symbols do you predict must be used to represent one letter? What kind of code? Length? Degenerate or nondegenerate?
