🧬 Protein Synthesis Simulator

Protein synthesis is the process where cells build proteins using RNA as a template. Each group of three RNA bases (codon) codes for a specific amino acid!

Key Points:

Codons: Groups of three RNA bases (e.g., AUG, GCC)
Start Codon: AUG (codes for Methionine) starts protein synthesis
Stop Codons: UAA, UAG, UGA end protein synthesis
Reading Frame: Codons are read in order, three bases at a time

Translation Rules

Each codon translates to a specific amino acid following the genetic code. Input any RNA sequence (must be divisible by 3) to see the amino acids it codes for!

Fun Facts! ⭐

Your body can make about 2 million proteins every second!
There are 20 different amino acids used to make proteins
The longest known protein in humans has 34,350 amino acids
