Note: This geocache is NOT at the listed coordinates. You will need to solve the following puzzle to find the final location.
The code to life is written in G, C, T, and A… it’s the base-pair code of DNA. DeoxyriboNucleic Acid is a code but few know what it actually codes for. Commonly people use generalities… such as “DNA makes you-you and makes me me.” That may be true, but to be specific, DNA is a code to make Proteins, which do almost all of the work inside our cells. The central dogma states that DNA --> RNA --> Protein. With few exceptions, all 30+ trillion cells in our body have the same copy of DNA. There are hundreds of different cell types, and they use the same DNA code to make proteins specific to the job of that cell type. In humans there are 22,000+ genes that code for specific proteins. These proteins are long chains of Amino Acids. There are only 20 different types of Amino Acids, and it’s the DNA code that determines which Amino Acid will be added to the growing protein chain. To solve this puzzle you will need to use the tools below to determine the Amino Acid Sequence of these IMPOSSIBLY SMALL proteins. Once you know the Amino Acids, simply use the single-letter abbreviation to spell out the coordinates.
Warning: Some Amino Acids can have more than one abbreviation.
