About this document
Deciphering The Genetic Code by Anusha Rizwan is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses the discovery and deciphering of the genetic code, highlighting the triplet hypothesis proposed by George Gamow, which suggested that groups of three nucleotides encode amino acids. It details the experimental work of Marshall Nirenberg and Har Gobind Khorana in the early 1960s that confirmed the triplet nature of the code and identified specific codons for amino acids. The document also explains the roles of START and STOP codons in protein synthesis.
