Simulation of Cell-Free Translation
(Program No. 104-32)
for Windows (NT, 98, Me, Xp)
$ 69.95
This program lets students use the computer to
simulate experiments that were performed to unravel the genetic code. Nucleotide polymers of mRNA are used to form polypeptide chains. By carefully selecting polymers it is possible to reveal which base triplet encode which amino acids.
This program includes 7 different forms of mRNA
(standard nuclear, mammal mitochondria, yeast mitochondria, Drosophila mitochondria, Neurospora mitochondria, plus two very unusual forms) so it can be a challenging learning experience for a wide range of undergraduate students. |
