GeneticCode is a handy reference tool for students and researches. The application visualizes codon table as well as provides information about 20 amino acids.
The codon table is represented in three different ways:
* Picker -- allows you to select a particular codon and the name and structure of the corresponding amino acid appear above. You can see amino acid properties by clicking on the amino acid structure.
* Table -- usual table representation of the whole codon table
* Circle -- circular representation of the codon table (a little bit unusual, but pretty)
Following information if provided about amino acids:
* Chemical structure
* Three letter and one letter abbreviations
* All codons that encode the amino acid
* Polarity
* Side chain charge (neutral, positive, negative)
* pH (acidic or basic)
* Chemical formula of the side chain
* Aromatic or aliphatic
* Essential
* Small
* Polar
* Hydrophobic
* Hydropathy
* Molecular weight (MW)
* Isoelectric Point (pI)
* pK1 (-COOH)
* pK2 (+NH3)
* pKa
* reference to Wikipedia
The GeneticCodePro also includes the following functionality:
* Amino acid table with the list of all 20 amino acid (in case you need information about a particular amino acid)
* Genetic Code Translator that allowes you to translate direct DNA strand to complementary
DNA => RNA => protein (in 3 and 1 letter abbreviations)
* Codon Table cells are clickable, so it is possible to get amino acid details directly from the Codon Table
