Found via reverse dictionary — words that share a conceptual meaning.
| Word | Definition |
|---|---|
| stopcodonnoun | Alternative form of stop codon. [(biology, genetics, biochemistry) a sequence of three RNA nucleotides (A, C, G or U) that instruct the synthesis, or translation, of a protein to stop. The three-letter stop codon sequences have been given names: "UAG" is amber, "UGA" is opal, and "UAA" is ochre.] |
| termination codonnoun | Synonym of stop codon. |
| codonnoun | (biochemistry) A sequence of three adjacent nucleotides, which encode for a specific amino acid during protein synthesis or translation. |
| ambernoun | A hard, generally yellow to brown translucent or transparent fossil resin from extinct coniferous trees of the pine genus, used for jewellery, decoration and later dissolved as a binder in varnishes. One variety, blue amber, appears blue rather than yellow under direct sunlight. |
| start codonnoun | The codon at which translation of mRNA into protein starts, encoding the first amino acid. |
| anticodonnoun | (genetics) A sequence of three nucleotides in transfer RNA that binds to the complementary triplet (codon) in messenger RNA to specify an amino acid during protein synthesis. |
| initiation codonnoun | (genetics) A codon that signals the first amino acid to be used in the synthesis of the polypeptide chain of a protein; either AUG or GUG |
| opalnoun | (gemology) A precious gem, an iridescent gemstone found in the opal-silica mineral substrate (potch) |
| intercodonnoun | (genetics) Between codons |
| homocodonnoun | (genetics) A length of repeated codons in a nucleic acid |
| genetic codenoun | (genetics) The set of rules by which the sequence of bases in DNA are translated into the amino acid sequence of proteins. |

| wobblenoun | An unsteady motion. |
| atalurennoun | (organic chemistry, pharmacology) A novel small-molecular agent designed to make ribosomes become less sensitive to, or possibly ignore, premature stop codons. |
| canonical sequencenoun | a sequence of DNA, RNA, or amino acids that reflects the most common choice of base or amino acid at each position. |
| complementnoun | The totality, the full amount or number which completes something. |
| isodecodernoun | (biochemistry) Either of a pair of transfer RNA molecules that share the same anticodon |
| 5′ capnoun | (biochemistry) A specially altered nucleotide end to the 5′ end of precursor messenger RNA and some other primary RNA transcripts as found in eukaryotes and caliciviruses, vital to creating mature messenger RNA which is then able to undergo translation. |
| open reading framenoun | (genetics) A sequence of DNA triplets, between the initiator and terminator codons, that can be transcribed into mRNA and later translated into protein. |
| non-stop decaynoun | (biochemistry) A cellular pathway for the rapid destruction of damaged or mutant messenger RNAs lacking a stop codon in the proper reading frame. |
