Protein Synthesis Lab Conclusion

Protein Synthesis Lab Conclusion

To make proteins first, ribosomes link the amino acids together. In the cell, the DNA directs or provides the master blueprint for creating proteins, using transcription of information to mRNA and then translation to create proteins.

There can be different effects with different mutations. For example substitution can result in no change or some change. Frameshift and deletion changes the protein because it adds or deletes a base. All of them add some change to the protein but you can't say one has a greater effect than the other because it all depends on what letter is added, removed, or substituted.

For step 5 I chose substitution because although we already tested that on out in the specific case there was no change so I wanted to test it out again so see what the effect would be with change. It matters where the mutation occurs because if it a insertion or deletion at the beginning it will differ all the ones following and not have its original sequence. 

Mutations can effect our lives with diseases. Tay-sachs disease is a rare inherited disorder that destroys nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. Mutations in the HEXA gene cause the disease. The HEXA gene provides instructions for making part of an enzyme called beta-hexosaminidase A, which plays an important role in the brain and spinal cord.
