codon-degeneracy

station__dna__codon-degeneracy external (needs EXECUTION_BACKEND_URL) dna non-pv Constructa Configa

Get the degeneracy (number of codons encoding the same amino acid) for a given amino acid. Leucine has 6 codons (most degenerate), Methionine and Tryptophan have 1 (least degenerate).
