UGA: A Third Nonsense Triplet in the Genetic Code
Abstract
Two base triplets of the genetic code are known not to represent any amino-acid. It now appears that, in Escherichia coli, the UGA triplet of the bases uracil, guanine and adenine does not code for an amino-acid and is therefore also a ``nonsense triplet''.
