Function Error / If and elseif statement help

Hello,
I have been trying to create this function to call when entering nucleotides and then having the string divided by 3 and then read and changed into the appropriate amino acid. When I try to run the function it comes up with the error:
'Not enough input arguements'
If anyone could help to fix this code up it would be amazing!!
function [amino_acid_chain] = synthesize2(neucleotide_string)
%Function to synthesize an amino acid chain from an mRNA molecule.
neucleotide_string = upper(neucleotide_string);
%Loop to check for invalid characters in neucleotide string.
while any(neucleotide_string ~= 'A' && neucleotide_string ~= 'G' && neucleotide_string ~= 'U' && neucleotide_string ~= 'C');
error('Error! Neucleotide string contains invalid characters.');
end
amino_acid_chain = cellstr(reshape(neucleotide_string,3,[])');
if length(amino_acid_chain)<3
amino_acid_chain = char([]);
return;
end
if amino_acid_chain == 'UUU' or 'UUC'
amino_acid_chain = replace(word,{'UUU','UUC'},{'F','F'});
elseif amino_acid_chain == 'UUA' or 'UUG' or 'CUU' or 'CUA' or 'CUG'
amino_acid_chain = replace(word,{'UUA','UUG','CUU','CUC','CUA','CUG'},{'L','L','L','L','L','L'});
elseif amino_acid_chain == 'AUU' or 'AUC' or 'AUA'
amino_acid_chain = replace(word,{'AUU', 'AUC', 'AUA'},{'I','I','I'});
elseif amino_acid_chain == 'AUG'
amino_acid_chain = replace(word,{'AUG'},{'M'});
elseif amino_acid_chain == 'GUU' or 'GUC' or 'GUA' or 'GUG'
amino_acid_chain = replace(word,{'GUU','GUC','GUA','GUG'},{'V','V','V','V'});
elseif amino_acid_chain == 'UCU' or 'UCC' or 'UCA' or 'UCG'
amino_acid_chain = replace(word,{'UCU','UCC','UCA','UCG'},{'S','S','S','S'});
elseif amino_acid_chain == 'CCU' or 'CCC' or 'CCA' or 'CCG'
amino_acid_chain = replace(word,{'CCU','CCC','CCA','CCG'},{'P','P','P','P'});
elseif amino_acid_chain == 'ACU' or 'ACC' or 'ACA' or 'ACG'
amino_acid_chain = replace(word,{'ACU','ACC','ACA','ACG'},{'T','T','T','T'});
elseif amino_acid_chain == 'GCU' or 'GCC' or 'GCA' or 'GCG'
amino_acid_chain = replace(word,{'GCU','GCC','GCA','GCG'},{'A','A','A','A'});
elseif amino_acid_chain == 'UAU' or 'UAC'
amino_acid_chain = replace(word,{'UAU','UAC'},{'Y','Y'});
elseif amino_acid_chain == 'CAA' or 'CAG'
amino_acid_chain = replace(word,{'CAA','CAG'},{'Q','Q'});
elseif amino_acid_chain == 'AAU' or 'AAC'
amino_acid_chain = replace(word,{'AAU','AAC'},{'N','N'});
elseif amino_acid_chain == 'AAA' or 'AAG'
amino_acid_chain = replace(word,{'AAA','AAG'},{'K','K'});
elseif amino_acid_chain == 'GAU' or 'GAC'
amino_acid_chain = replace(word,{'GAU','GAC'},{'D','D'});
elseif amino_acid_chain == 'GAA' or 'GAG'
amino_acid_chain = replace(word,{'GAA','GAG'},{'E','E'});
elseif amino_acid_chain == 'UGU' or 'UGC'
amino_acid_chain = replace(word,{'UGU','UGC'},{'C','C'});
elseif amino_acid_chain == 'UGG'
amino_acid_chain = replace(word,{'UGG'},{'W'});
elseif amino_acid_chain == 'CGU' or 'CGC' or 'CGA' or 'CGG'
amino_acid_chain = replace(word,{'CGU','CGC','CGA','CGG'},{'R','R','R','R'});
elseif amino_acid_chain == 'AGU' or 'AGC'
amino_acid_chain = replace(word,{'AGU','AGC'},{'S','S'});
elseif amino_acid_chain == 'AGA' or 'AGG'
amino_acid_chain = replace(word,{'AGA','AGG'},{'R','R'});
elseif amino_acid_chain == 'CGU' or 'GGC' or 'GGA' or 'GGG'
amino_acid_chain = replace(word,{'GGU','GGC','GGA','GGG'},{'G','G','G','G'});
elseif amino_acid_chain == 'UAA' or 'UAG' or 'UGA'
amino_acid_chain = replace(word,{'UAA','UAG','UGA'},{'Stop','Stop','Stop'});
end
end
I was also using 'or' in my if/elseif statement, however I don't think that is correct either...

Why do you still have this?
if amino_acid_chain == 'Stop'
The goal of that if is unclear anyway, as there is no code between the return and the end of the function.
Also, have you seen my answer?

As a replacement for what you have done here, I would suggest using ismember to find the triples that form valid codes. You can even use it to keep track of every marked position so you can see if you forgot to implement any triples.
amino_acid_chain = cellstr(reshape(neucleotide_string,3,[])');
L=false(size(amino_acid_chain));%keep track of replaced codes
library={{'E','GAA','GAG'};...
{'W','UGG'}};%etc
for n=1:numel(library)
triplet=library{n}(2:end);%select the triplet(s) from the library (e.g. {'GAA','GAG'})
letter=library{n}(1);%select the corresponding amino acid letter (e.g. 'E')
L_current_code=ismember(amino_acid_chain,triplet);%find all positions where the amino acid occurs
amino_acid_chain(L_current_code)=letter;%replace by the letter code
L=L | L_current_code;%mark as replaced
end
if any(~L)%shouldn't happen
error('some code was not implemented correctly')
end

Consider using a switch / case statement.
food = ["apple", "beans", "cauliflower", "dragonfruit", "egg"];
groceries = food(randi(numel(food), 20, 1)); % 20 random items from food
for whichItem = 1:numel(groceries)
item = groceries(whichItem);
switch item
case {"apple"; "dragonfruit"}
itIsA = "fruit";
case {"beans"; "cauliflower"}
itIsA = "vegetable";
otherwise
itIsA = "something else";
end
fprintf("Item %d, %s, is a %s.\n", whichItem, item, itIsA);
end
