Abstract

The triplet nature of the genetic code, which provides sixty-four possible codons for twenty amino acids, allows for the development of degeneracy in the code. It is known from the elegant experiments performed in vitro (see Nirenberg et al., Khorana et al., and Matthei et al., this volume) that the code exhibits almost complete degeneracy in vitro, with only a few triplets still remaining unassigned as codons; consequently most amino acids have multiple codons. The code also appears to be largely universal in vitro, in the sense that a triplet codes for the same amino acid when translated by cell extracts prepared from diverse sources (Schwartz, Eisenstadt, Brawerman, and Zinder, 1965; Nirenberg et al., this volume).
