  Protein structure

  Proteins, similar to carbohydrates and lipids, are made up of such elements as carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. They are amino acid chains, made up from 20 different L-alpha-amino acids, also referred to ... > more

  Genetic code

  The genetic code is the set of rules by which information encoded in genetic material (DNA or RNA sequences) is translated into proteins (amino acid sequences) by living cells. Specifically, the code ... > more
