The code
The mistake in the gene :
The mistake in the gene DNA triplet codes 506-510 involved, involves amino acids 506-510 of the 1480 total in the protein
TAG TAG AAA CCA CAA (gene)
AUC AUC UUU GGU GUU (mRNA)
Ile - Ile - Phe - Gly - Val (protein)
TAG TAA CCA CAA (defective gene)
Ile code preserved (wobble), Phe is lost
Protein Electrophoresis :
Protein Electrophoresis migrate through gel based on charge
Changing the amino acid might change the charge
The mistake :
The mistake a glutamate is replaced with a valine at position 6
