The British Council reference is something like a third-hand source. I have taken it out because it wouldn't fit in with the rest of the sentence. Pilatus 13:23, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The 20 amino acids?

User:XCalPab has added a paragraph that begins "Also in 1953 Watson and Crick worked over lunch in the Eagle to draw up a list of the 20 amino acids." This conflicts with the amino acids article which says "About 500 amino acids are known (though only 20 appear in the genetic code)". It seems likely that Watson and Crick drew up a list of the 20 amino acids in the genetic code. I edited this article to say that, but self-reverted because I am insufficiently familiar with this topic. Would Watson and Crick have used the term "genetic code" in 1953? Please resolve or clarify this contradiction. Verbcatcher (talk) 01:00, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Good point! I've used "canonical amino acids" now which refers only to those found in proteins (specified in the genetic code) not all the chemical structures that could occur. This amino acid list made in the Eagle was a key tool in working out the genetic code, but predated it of course. I'd like to keep it reasonbable simple on this page, as its not a molecular biology page. --XCalPab (talk) 19:30, 9 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
