*DNA* serves as the _information storage medium_, which is |ff0000|transcribed| into *RNA* (the _information transmission medium_), which is finally |ff0000|translated| by a ribosome into a *Protein* *DNA*: %AAA _GGA_ GAA _TAG_ TGT _GGC_ CAT _CGT_ GCC _CGC_% *RNA*: %UUU _CCU_ CUU _AUC_ AUA _CCG_ GUA _GCA_ GCC _GCG_% *Protein*: %F _P_ L _I_ I _P_ V _A_ A _A_% (or: %Phe _Pro_ Leu _Ile_ Ile _Pro_ Val _Ala_ Ala _Ala_%) An text composed of 3-letter words (with 4 unique letters) gets mapped into a sequence of 20 unique letters. This is usually called "_The Central Dogma of Biology_" ... but the fun really starts when we want to go *from a sequence (1D) to a 3D structure*, even more fun when we want to figure out the (probable) *function and properties* of the biomolecule.
