Real quick Biology amino acid sequence question?
What is a DNA sequence that would encode the amino acid sequence: valine-typtophan-lysine-proline-phenylalanine-threonine?
Answers appreciated thanks!
Update:the last part cut off. Starting from the last amino acid: phenylalanine-threonine

There are dozens of sequences that could produce this
Use the link and find the codon table - that will help you figure it out.

Just remember this is an RNA table so you will have to convert it back to DNA - yes thats easy
Your mRNA sequence is right. Now, to convert that into an amino acid sequence, you want a desk of the genetic code. Using a genetic code table, you're going to use three consecutive bases to determine the amino acid. So, AUG codes for Met, UGG codes for Trp, AAC codes for Asn CGC codes for Arg UGG codes for Trp and UGA is a stop codon. So, the amino acid sequence is: Met-Trp-Asn-Arg-Trp
