Question

13.	What are the corresponding amino acids to the following: AUG CUU UGU GAC  ACG UGA?

thomaster · Answer

AUG=methionine
CUU=leucine
UGU=cysteine
GAC=aspartic acid
ACG=threonine
UGA=tryptophan

You can look them up by yourself too using this codon table.
For AUG, first look for A in the red bar, then look for U in the blue bar and finally G in the green bar. You'll end up with methionine.

Sorry UGA is not tryptophan, it's selenocysteine but it's generally interpretated as a stop codon.
