Although in most cases sense DNA refers to the DNA strand whose sequences code for proteins, in some cases sense/antisense (e.g., for PCR primers) are arbitrarily used to distinguish the two strands of the double-stranded DNA.

A mutation in the anticodon of tRNA that alters the anticodon so it is now complementary to a nonsense codon allowing the tRNA to insert its cognate amino acid at this nonsense codon during translation.

Sense strand

Sense and antisense
As a result of their antiparallel arrangement and the sequence-reading preferences of enzymes, even if both strands carried identical instead of complementary sequences, cells could properly translate only one of them.
