Protein Synthesis and the Genetic Code
Biomedical Significance

Before the deciphering of METABOLISM/28.html">The Genetic Code, it was impossible to understand The Mechanism of Protein Synthesis AND explain THE ORIGIN OF Mutations. The Discovery of the genetic code made it possible to answer the question of how defects in certain human Proteins are linked to Hereditary diseases. Furthermore, the deciphering of the genetic code provided the essential Prerequisites for the Diagnosis and Treatment of such conditions.
