Re: Codons are triplets, but what's a Singlet, Doublet, etc?

... amino acids and codons. Among the primitive proteins made are assumed to be assignment catalysts characterized by structural and functional parameters which are used to formulate the production kinetics of these catalysts from available templates. Application of the model to the simple case ...
