which of the following amino acid codon was used by khorana?A. SerineB – InterviewSolution

1.	which of the following amino acid codon was used by khorana?A. SerineB. TryptophanC. AlanineD. Valine
Answer» Correct Answer - A By using synthetic DNA khorana et. Al prepared chains of polyribonuclotides with known repeated sequence of two or three nucleotides as poly CUC UCU CUC UCU Hence two codons repeated alternately . This dictates the formation of polypeptides chain having two amino acid alternatively i.e serine and lecine
