Summary Introduction
To review:
Whether the following is true or false regarding lactose permease:
Amino acids at 64th and 68th position are glycine and aspartic acid, respectively, so the codon for glycine is closer to the 3’ end of mRNA (messenger ribonucleic acid) than the aspartic acid’s codon.
The mRNA encoding for lactose permease should be over 1241 nucleotides in length.
Introduction:
Codon is a triplet, which means group of three

When the amino acid sequences of insulin isolated from different organisms were determined, differences were noted. For example, alanine was substituted for threonine, serine for glycine, and valine for isoleucine at corresponding positions in the protein. List the single-base changes that could occur in codons of the genetic code to produce these amino acid changes.
The genetic information contained in DNA consists of a linear sequence of coding units known as codons. Each codon consists of three adjacent DNA nucleotides that corresponto a single amino acid in a protien.
The E.coli DNA molecule contains 4.70 x 10^6 base pairs. Determine the number of codons that can be present.
Assuming that the average protein in E.coli consists of a chain of 400 amino acids, calculate the maximum number of protiens that can be coded by an E.coli DNA molecule.
In prokaryotic protein synthesis, formylmethionine (fmet) is the first amino acid incorporated, whereas (normal) methionine is incorporated in eukaryotes. The same codon (AUG) serves both. What prevents methionine from being inserted into the beginning and formylmethionine in the interior?

For many codons, the first base specifies a biosynthetic precursor: U = pyruvate, C = α-ketoglutarate, A = oxaloacetate, G = any of a number of simple precursors. The second base of the codon tends to be associated with water solubility: water-soluble amino acids have a G, A, or C as the middle position, whereas five of seven of the most hydrophobic amino acids have U as the middle base. The third base in a codon is often information free; that is, many of the codons for the same amino acid differ only with the third base.

What are the exceptions?arrow_forwardSeveral genes code for enzymes that are responsible for histidine biosynthesis in Escherichia coli. Part of the nucleotide sequence of the gene that codes for one of these enzymes is: AUG CCU UGG GCC CAA AAA UGC A series of mutants that have lost activity for this enzyme are recovered.
