public static final CodonTable STANDARD

Method Details

values

public static CodonTable[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared.

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static CodonTable valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this class with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this class. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum class has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null

translate

public AminoAcid translate(String codon)

Translates a codon to an Amino Acid.

Parameters:

codon - 3-character RNA string (e.g., "AUG")

Returns:

AminoAcid or null for STOP

translateToChar

public char translateToChar(String codon)

Translates a codon to its single-letter representation.

isStop

public boolean isStop(String codon)

Checks if a codon is a stop codon.

isStart

public boolean isStart(String codon)

Checks if a codon is a start codon (AUG).
