Fundamental Biology Question
No they don't, amino acids code for proteins
​
Is this correct? Admittedly I am out of element on this topic but this quote caught my attention.
​
I though amino acids make up the basic components of proteins and not code for them. In much the same way nucleotides make up the basic components of the DNA molecule.

Re: Fundamental Biology Question
amino acids are translated into proteins
​
I think some terminology is getting in the way here.
​
Just so you understand my issue.
​
For someone to say "hydrogen and oxygen code for, or are translated into , water" sounds a bit arkward. No?
