MeSH definition : An amino acid-specifying codon that has been converted to a stop codon (CODON, TERMINATOR)
by mutation. Its occurance is abnormal causing premature termination of protein translation
and results in production of truncated and non-functional proteins. A nonsense mutation
is one that converts an amino acid-specific codon to a stop codon.;
