Do Codons Overlap? In Other Words, As We Read Along The Genetic Message Do We Find A Base Which Is A Member Of Two Or More Codons? It Now Seems Fairly Certain That Codons Do Not Overlap.

It Now Seems Certain That The Amino Acid Sequence Of Any Protein Is Determined By The Sequence Of Bases In Some Region Of A Particular Nucleic Acid Molecule.

A Comparison Between The Triplets Tentatively Deduced By These Methods With The Changes In Amino Acid Sequence Produced By Mutation Shows A Fair Measure Of Agreement.

Jim And I Hit It Off Immediately, Partly Because Our Interests Were Astonishingly Similar And Partly, I Suspect, Because A Certain Youthful Arrogance, A Ruthlessness, An Impatience With Sloppy Thinking Can Naturally To Both Of Us.

Unfortunately It Makes The Unambiguous Determination Of Triplets By These Methods Much More Difficult Than Would Be The Case If There Were Only One Triplet For Each Amino Acid.
