Codon, Nonsense
Codon, Termination, Premature | Codon, Unassigned | Mutation, Nonsense | Nonsense Codon | Nonsense Mutation | Premature Stop Codon | Unassigned Codon | Premature Termination Codon | Codon, Premature Stop | Codon, Premature Termination
A codon that has been converted to the same sequence as a stop codon (CODON, TERMINATOR) by a nonsense mutation. It is different from a stop codon in that it occurs abnormally and causes premature termination of protein translation resulting in the production of truncated proteins which may be non-functional. |
