What do you think would be the potential effect of a mutation in the part of the tRNA gene that encodes (a) the acceptor stem; (b) the anticodon; (c) one of the red nucleotide positions?
Proteins
We generally tend to think of proteins only from a dietary lens, as a component of what we eat. However, they are among the most important and abundant organic macromolecules in the human body, with diverse structures and functions. Every cell contains thousands and thousands of proteins, each with specific functions. Some help in the formation of cellular membrane or walls, some help the cell to move, others act as messages or signals and flow seamlessly from one cell to another, carrying information.
Protein Expression
The method by which living organisms synthesize proteins and further modify and regulate them is called protein expression. Protein expression plays a significant role in several types of research and is highly utilized in molecular biology, biochemistry, and protein research laboratories.

Any alteration in the sequence of nucleotide in the genome of any organisms called mutation. Mutation arises due to error in replication, meiosis, mitosis, or due to damage such as by radiation exposure. The mutation may also be caused by the deletions or insertion of a DNA segment.
