Abstract
How genes are expressed and translated into proteins (using mRNA, codons an
d tRNAs as adaptor molecules) forms the basis of the 'genetic code'. Many p
eptides are synthesized nonribosomally, however, by large protein complexes
that also serve as templates. Recent advances have shed light on what the
nonribosomal code is and how it can be read.
