Dès 1964, le code génétique était totalement connu. Chaque codon est constitué de trois nucléotides adjacents dans un brin d'ARNm. Soixante et un codons spécifient les 20 acides aminés et chacun d'entre eux n'en spécifie qu'un seul. Le triplet ATG (ou son équivalent AUG dans l'ARN) exerce deux fonctions. D'une part, il code pour l'acide aminé méthionine, d'autre part, il indique le début d'une séquence codant pour une protéine - le codon «départ». 3, record 2, French, - acide%20amin%C3%A9%20m%C3%A9thionine
