Characteristics[edit | edit source]

The Bacterial, Archaeal and Plant Plastid Code has several unique characteristics. For example, it uses the same 64 codons as the standard genetic code, but it assigns different amino acids to some of these codons.

Function[edit | edit source]

The function of the Bacterial, Archaeal and Plant Plastid Code is to provide a set of instructions for the synthesis of proteins in bacteria, archaea, and plant plastids. This code is essential for the survival and function of these organisms.

Differences from the Standard Genetic Code[edit | edit source]

The Bacterial, Archaeal and Plant Plastid Code differs from the standard genetic code in several ways. For example, it assigns the amino acid tryptophan to the codon UGA, which is a stop codon in the standard genetic code.
