One of the amino acid sequences in the lysozyme protein from the bacterial virus T4 studies by Streisinger and co-worker was .... Lys – ser – pro – ser – leu – asn – ala – ala – lys. This particular amino acid was found to have changed to lys – val – his –his –leu –met –ala –ala –lys... as a result of a single nucleotide deletion and addition approximately 15 bases apart in the mRNA. a. What is the sequence of the nucleotides that produce the original protein. b. Which base was deleted and which was added? Give the altered sequence of bases in the altered amino acid.
