Struct CodonTable

pub struct CodonTable { /* private fields */ }

A struct that holds the standard DNA codon translation table. It maps three-letter DNA codons (e.g., “AUG”) to their corresponding amino acids.

Implementations

impl CodonTable

pub fn new() -> Self

Creates a new, populated CodonTable.

pub fn translate(&self, codon: &str) -> Option<AminoAcid>

Translates a three-letter DNA codon string into an Option<AminoAcid>.

Arguments

• codon - A string slice representing the 3-letter codon (e.g., “AUG”).

Returns

Some(AminoAcid) if the codon is valid, or None if it is not found in the table.

Trait Implementations

impl Debug for CodonTable

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Default for CodonTable

fn default() -> Self

Creates a new CodonTable populated with the standard genetic code.
