How to co-relate DNA sequence to protein sequence?
How to co-relate DNA sequence to protein sequence of PTC receptor (or TAS2R38 gene)?
Ans 1: Well, it's a lengthy answer, and someone can choose any of the correct answers but I will specify one of them. The DNA sequence is made up of nucleotides while proteins are amino acids. If you want to see which DNA sequence will exactly give rise to the correct amino acid then use bioinformatic tools such as MEGA-X. Difficulties are seen when you get a stop codon at the first step of the DNA sequence but it is removed by the various tools. A three-letter code called "codon" is found in the DNA sequence that will ultimately give rise to a specific amino acid during the translation process.
Ans 2: PTC receptor protein is made up of ~333 amino acids in humans. You can correlate this sequence from the FASTA sequence of the gene from the following pathway ncbi>gene>FASTA sequence.
