reading frame
reading framen. One of the three possible ways in which an mRNA sequence of nucleotides can be read as a series of base triplets to specify the amino acids in a protein chain.Translations
reading frame
reading frame[′rēd·iŋ ‚frām] (cell and molecular biology) A nucleotide sequence that starts with an initiation codon, partitions the subsequent nucleotides into a series of amino acid-encoding triplets, and ends with a termination codon. reading frame
read·ing frame (rēd'ing frām), The grouping of nucleotides by threes into codons. See: frameshift mutation. reading framen. One of the three possible ways in which an mRNA sequence of nucleotides can be read as a series of base triplets to specify the amino acids in a protein chain.reading frame An imaginary window through which base pairs can be inspected three at a time, and which provides a way in which a nucleotide sequence can be viewed as three different sets of CODONs only one of which is correct. |
