The standard genetic code shows how triplets of nucleotides (codons) in messenger RNA are translated to specify amino acids in proteins. Each row represents a codon consisting of a first, second, and third nucleotide. The columns represent the four possible nucleotides at each position in the codon. The intersection of each row and column indicates the amino acid specified by that codon. Some codons act as stop signals to terminate translation.
