Sense-complementary peptide interactions

By definition, a sense peptide is one whose sequence is coded for by the nucleotide sequence (read 5 3 ) of sense mRNA, whose sequence contains the same coding information as the sense strand of DNA. Gonversely, a complementary peptide is coded for by the nucleotide sequence (read 5 3 ) of complementary mRNA, with the same sequence information as the complementary strand of DNA. Frequently, sense and complementary peptides are capable of specific interactions, in a process that may involve an amino-acid interaction code embedded within the genetic code and its complement (Figure 7.40). One application of sense-complementary peptide interactions may be in the design of complementary...
