Enhancing your Ribosome. Take your Ribosome code, and improve it so that it translates the DNA sequence detailed in yhr vh7.aminoAcidDict2.py file.

You can incorporate that code by pasteing it in, but you should build out the makeCodonToAaDict function, as described there and use it,such as by having your getAa function call it. Alterntatively you could just build a new streamlined getAa that can deal with any codon. The choice is yours.

Save your results as one file: call it Dict.yourUserName.py and upload it here

Heres the Ribosome code below:
