Detailed explanation-1: -Each gene’s code uses the four nucleotide bases of DNA: adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G) and thymine (T)-in various ways to spell out three-letter “codons” that specify which amino acid is needed at each position within a protein.
Detailed explanation-2: -The genetic code is the instruction that a gene uses to tell a cell how to make a specific protein.
Detailed explanation-3: -The first is to estimate the number of different protein types (proteome width), as well as measure protein copies number in particular tissues (proteome depth). Following the hypothesis of “one gene = one protein, ” there should be at least 20, 000 nonmodified (canonical) human proteins.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Proteomic Code is a set of rules by which information in genetic material is transferred into the physico-chemical properties of amino acids. It determines how individual amino acids interact with each other during folding and in specific protein-protein interactions.
Detailed explanation-5: -The sections of DNA (or RNA) that code for proteins are called exons.
