Protein synthesis is the process by which information is taken from DNA, passed to RNA by a process called transcription and finally to protein by another process called translation.

Mutation 1

5' AGTTTGCACTTGTAGAGGATGAAGCCGCACGTACATCA 3'

Mutation 1 (transcription): With RNA we use uracil instead of thyimine. We also use the reverse complementary sequence. Since transcription occurs from 3' to 5'.

3' UCAAACGUGAACAUCUCCUACUUCGGCGUGCAUGUAGU 5'

Same sequence but from 5' - 3':

5' UGA-UGU-ACG-UGC-GGC-UUC-AUC-CUC-UAC-AAG-UGC-AAA-CU 3'

Mutation 1 (translation) Finally, the translation occurs from 5' to 3' and we can known the protein sequence using the next table:

Stop-Cys-Thr-Cys-Gly-Phe-Ile-Leu-Tyr-Lys-CysLys

It should be noted that each chain will give rise to different amino acid sequences.
