From the bottom of your link:
It's an April fools. To address the point of if its possible though I'll give you something to think about: how is mRNA read so that proteins might be translated (hint: look into codons).
UPDATE: (April 2) too many people thought this was serious. Please check the date of this post. Then look up if there is even a Franklin National Lab or an A. lupicus. Then chill out.

tRNA.. nodoc or anticodon reads the Triplets of RNA and the CCA (3') end attaches to the Amino acid bringing it for protein synthesis.. so?Ryan_m_b said:how is mRNA read so that proteins might be translated
Yup you have the triplets, and if you were to have the amino acid sequence could you figure out the specific triplet?

ahh.. there lies the problem. 
wobble! Thank you! actually this was a part of a question, is it ok if i mentioned the question here, because it might be against the rules..i might have a follow up question..

May I?
is it possible to convert DNA directly to proteins?
