protein_translation

A crate to translate &str or String of RNA sequence with nucleotide into a Vec<&str> of their appropriate protein names.

Explaination

A codon is a DNA or RNA sequence of three nucleotides (a trinucleotide) that forms a unit of genomic information encoding a particular amino acid or signaling the termination of protein synthesis (stop signals). DNA and the corresponding messenger RNA are made up of a series of bases (nucleotides). In RNA, these bases are often labeled with the letters A, U, C, and G. A set of three bases makes up a codon. These codons have their corresponding protein names that are parsed until the STOP codon is found.

Example

use protein_translation::*;

    fn main() {
        let rna = "AUGUUUUCUUAAAUG".to_string();
        let protein_vec = rna.protein_translate().unwrap();
        assert_eq!(
            vec!["Methionine", "Phenylalanine", "Serine"],
            protein_vec,
        );
    }
