Summary
Single nucleotide polymorphisms which are traditionally considered silent (coding for same amino acid) can effect protein folding. We have always been taught to believe that these silent mutations are just that, silent. The fact that they can change protein structure and subsequent function could lead to a much more thorough analysis of DNA mutations and could give us new insight as to how things are mutated.
We want to design a peptide which has several points for silent mutations which are known to create structural differences in proteins. We then want to test the effects of mutating this peptide is humans, yeast and M13.
