All the more recent work on alkaptonuria has. . . strengthened the belief that the homogentisic acid excreted is derived from tyrosin, but why alkaptonuric individuals pass the benzene ring of their tyrosin unbroken and how and where the peculiar chemical change from tyrosin to homogentisic acid is brought about, remain unsolved problems.

It now seems very likely that many of the 64 triplets, possibly most of them, may code one amino acid or another, and that in general several distinct triplets may code one amino acid.
You always come back to earth with a thump at some stage. Life has it's ups and downs; the acid test is how you handle the downs.

I can't eat before I go onstage because I've learnt that burping on stage isn't a good thing. It's all about acid reflux.
Alienation is a form of living death. It is the acid of despair that dissolves society.
A comparison between the triplets tentatively deduced by these methods with the changes in amino acid sequence produced by mutation shows a fair measure of agreement.
My most treasured clothing item is first suit that I made - acid green. It was disgusting, but I love it. It's been mended a million times, but I still wear it.
P. S. I enjoy acid pops.
