Genetic Code 1.5

GeneticCode is a utilitarian tool catering to students and researchers alike. This application offers a visualization of the standard genetic code and delivers essential insights into 20 amino acids along with their corresponding abbreviations.

• Codon Picker: Enables users to pinpoint a specific codon and view the corresponding amino acid’s name and structure. Clicking on the amino acid structure reveals its properties.
• Codon Table: Presents a tabular view of the codon table.
• Codon Circle: Displays the codon table in a circular format, offering a unique visual perspective.
• Codon Alignment: Provides supplementary details about initiation (start) codons.

The application furnishes comprehensive details about each amino acid, including chemical structure, three-letter and one-letter abbreviations, encoding codons, polarity, side chain charge, pH level, side chain chemical formula, aromatic/aliphatic nature, essentiality, size, polarity, hydrophobicity, hydropathy index, molecular weight (MW), isoelectric point (pI), pK values (-COOH and +NH3), pKa value, and reference links to Wikipedia.

• "Amino Acid and Nucleotide Codes": Consists of 26 amino acid and 16 nucleotide codes or abbreviations. This encompasses non-standard/degenerate codes representing unique nucleotide combinations like Purine (A or G), Pyrimidine (C or T), Any Nucleotide (N), Weak (A or T), Strong (G or C), Amino (A or C), Keto (G or T), and more.

The depiction through the Amino Acid Venn Diagram showcases the classification of all amino acids based on their physical and chemical properties in a single visual representation.
