codon (medicine) and Priene (sh)


codon (medicine)


codon
<molecular biology> The coding unit of DNA that specifies the function of the corresponding messenger RNA.

A triplet of bases recognised by anticodons on transfer RNA and hence specifying an amino acid to be incorporated into a protein sequence. The code is degenerate, i.e. Each amino acid has more than one codon. The stop codon determines the end of a polypeptide.


Priene (sh)




Ancient city of Ionia, north of the Menderes (Maeander) River, southwestern Anatolia.

According to Strabo, it was founded by Ionians and Thebans. It was sacked in the 7th century BC but regained its position in the 6th century BC. It prospered under the Romans and Byzantines but gradually declined. After passing into Turkish hands in the 13th century AD, it was abandoned. Archaeological excavations revealed a Greek town built on terraces; atop a nearby hill is a temple of Athena Polias that was dedicated by Alexander the Great in 334 BC.
