coding strand definition biology
Coding strand. The DNA strand with the same sequence as the trans cribed mRNA (given U in RNA and T in DNA) and containing the linear array of codon s which interact with anticodon s of tRNA during translation to give the primary sequence of a protein. Compare with anti coding strand. Non-coding strand.
coding strand The strand of a duplex DNA molecule that has the same nucleotide sequence as the mRNA (except that Ts appears in the DNA where Us appear in the corresponding RNA). The coding strand is antisense strand because it does not serve as the template for mRNA synthesis.
