Summary Introduction

To determine:

The minimum size of the gene encoding the protein of 1259 amino acids long and the reason behind the longer length of the gene than its expected minimum length

Introduction:

Proteins are made when many peptide chains made of a number of amino acids are joined to each other. The amino acids are coded when three RNA nucleotides come together to specify a particular amino acid from the genetic code.
