Pro.
A wild-type strain of bacteria produces a protein with the amino acid proline (Pro) at one site. Treatment with
nitrous acid causes a C to change to a U. Two different mutants are produced after nitrous acid treatment of
the bacteria. One has a serine (Ser) in place of the proline, an the other has a leucine (Leu). Further treatment
of the two mutants with nitrous acid produces new mutant strains, both with phenylalanine (Phe) at the site.
Treatment of the phenylalanine carrying mutants produces no change. U
