AWhat changed
Used synthetic poly-U RNA in a cell-free system to direct phenylalanine incorporation, providing a decisive entry point into deciphering the genetic code.
Scientific scope
Used synthetic poly-U RNA in a cell-free system to direct phenylalanine incorporation, providing a decisive entry point into deciphering the genetic code. Scope limitation: This experiment concerns an initial coding assignment. Completion of the genetic code and later translation mechanisms involved additional researchers and experiments.
Evidence
Assessment uses the catalogue-linked source evidence for the stated contribution. This experiment concerns an initial coding assignment. Completion of the genetic code and later translation mechanisms involved additional researchers and experiments.
