MAGNITUDE OF THYMINE IN DIFFERENT FRAMES OF MESSENGER RNAs

Abstract

Abstract-Thymine is the one and only base transcribed into uracil during production of proteins. Thymine in DNA and uracil in mRNA plays a major role in producing proteins with appropriate carbon content for stability and activity. Thymine distribution is different frames of coding nucleic acids are investigated statistically. The results confirm that frame 1 supposed to have definite thymine content. Frame 3 prefers to have least thymine content. Frames 4 & 5 maintain some degree of thymine while 2 & 6 have a variable fraction of thymine.
