Explain briefly the hershey-chase experiment?
What is the role of ¹4N and ¹5N in Meselson-Stahl experiment?

The authors state: "Properties of the single mutants K557R, D591V and K617A, a double mutant,
D591V/K617A, and a triple mutant, K557R/D591V/K617A, were evaluated to find an allosteric
binding site for citrate."
The numbers between the letters represent the residue number altered. The letter in front was the
wild type and the letter afterwards is the mutant.
How would the the triple mutations K557R and D591V and K617A alter the overall protein?
