我正在研究一个相当简单的程序,将给定的非编码DNA链转换为所有相应的DNA(编码,mRNA,tRNA和氨基酸链)。
当我尝试切片时,我得到IndexError
:
mRNA_parts = mRNA.split(' ')
print mRNA_parts, # using for debugging purposes
for base in mRNA_parts:
print base # again, for debugging
partA = base[0]
partB = base[1]
partC = base[2]
my_acid = (amino_acids[partA][partB][partC]) + ' '
# 'amino_acids' is a 3D (thrice-nested) dictionary with the corresponding parts of mRNA to convert to the amino acid chain.
# part of the nested dictionary: amino_acids = {'U': {'U': {'U': 'Phe'}}}. This is only one part (out of 64) of it.
# Thus, if the mRNA section was 'UUU', the amino acid would be 'Phe '.
acid_strand += my_acid
这是我得到的错误:
['GAU', '']
GAU
Traceback (most recent call last):

partA = base[0]
IndexError: string index out of range
如果基地为'GAU',base[0]
怎么办?
根据它打印的内容,'GAU'不是字符串?它周围没有任何引用。
提前致谢!
答案 0 :(得分:3)
它没有显示GAU
的错误,但是对于空字符串''
,您将其作为列表的第二个元素。在循环开始时添加测试以忽略它。
