Procedure:
- Make sure that the biosimulation is running and that there are no RNA sequences in the 'RNA sequence' box.
- Carefully type in the following RNA sequence
UUUUGUGCAAUGCGACCG
- If your sequence is not exactly as it appears here, use the mouse to position the cursor over the sequence and edit the mistake(s) until the mRNA is correct.
- Click on the 'Translate' button.
- The following polypeptide sequence will appear.
-phe-cys-ala-met-arg-pro-
- If you see these six amino acids in this sequence - it is time to begin the mutation of the mRNA.
- If you have made any mistakes correct them now, and keep trying until you see the proper polypeptide sequence.
- In your notes, record the codons and the polypeptide sequence.
