Use this table to find out what each codon represents. Locate the first letter of the codon on the left edge of the table to identify a block, then the second letter of the codon across the top to identify the column. Locate the third letter of the codon on the right edge of the table to identify the amino acid. For example, the codon ‘CAU’ codes for histidine (HIS).
