Question
A lilP mutant called lilPXS is isolated that produces a truncated polypeptide of only 6 AA in length. Describe a single basepair DNA change that would lead to this truncated version of the protein. Multiple options are possible
Part A
The bacterial gene little protein (lilP) makes a small protein of 11 animo acids (AA) in
length. The DNA sequence of the lilP gene is shown below.
