Amino Acid to Codon Mapper
Amino Acid to Codon Mapper
This free Amino Acid to Codon Mapper lets you input any amino acid in 1-letter, 3-letter, or full name form and instantly maps it to its matching RNA codons. Whether you're a molecular biology student or genetic researcher, this tool helps visualize the codon assignments used in the standard genetic code, including codon frequency (per 1000) in E. coli.
How to Use
- Type an amino acid name in any form, like
S,Ser, orSerine - Tool matches it with all known codons in the RNA genetic code
- Shows codon triplets and frequency used in E. coli
- Displays error if input is invalid or not recognized
Features
- Supports all 20 amino acids plus stop codons
- Input flexibility: full name, abbreviation, or single letter
- Instant codon list generation with usage frequency
- Responsive card layout, mobile-friendly interface
- Includes codons for both synonymous and unique cases
- Handles stop codons and shows label clearly
- Highlights errors in real-time with helpful feedback
Who Should Use This Tool
- Biology and biotechnology students working on genetic code translation
- Researchers designing synthetic genes or analyzing codon usage
- Bioinformatics educators and professors teaching transcription/translation
- Anyone interested in understanding RNA codon assignments
