Chapter 4, Problem 42P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The amino acids that terminate three different polypeptides when the terminal position of an RNA transcript of a region of t₄ phage DNA contains the sequence 5'-AAUGAGGA-3' needs to be determined. The three different polypeptides needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Amber mutant is a rare mutant in a T4 phage suspension that removes polypeptide growth of a protein which is essential for lysis of E-coli.
