Overview

According to the codon box concept, 64 codons can be divided into 20 kinds of codon boxes. Furthermore, the codon boxes can be classifed into three categories: Type-1 has only one kind of base; Type-2 has two kinds of bases; and Type-3 has three kinds of bases.

Codon optimization is a crucial step in maximizing protein expression. Different organisms have varying preferences for codon usage, and optimizing the codon sequence to align with these preferences can significantly enhance protein production. Codon optimization is a crucial step in molecular biology and biotechnology, aimed at adapting the codon usage of a gene to match the preferred codon usage of the target expression system. This process improves translational efficiency, protein yield, and functional expression, ensuring successful outcomes for your research and development projects.
