In-Linear-Time: Check This Web Site

The document provides code to translate an mRNA sequence into a protein sequence. It defines a dictionary that maps codons to amino acids or stop signals. The amino_acids function takes an mRNA string as input. It splits the mRNA into codons, looks up each codon in the dictionary, appends the corresponding amino acids or stop signal to a list, and returns the protein sequence list. It also counts the number of amino acids before a stop codon is reached.

# your code here

protein = [''] # Start with empty protein string

translation = {"AUG": "Met", "CCA": "Pro", "CCU": "Pro"} # Which codon translates for which
amino acid

while mrna: # Repeat loop while mRNA isn't exhausted

codon = mrna[:3] # Select first three codes
