Question

In a certain mutant strain of bacteria, the enzyme asparagyl-tRNA synthase mistakenly attaches leucine to asparagyl-tRNA 5% of the time instead of attaching asparagine. These bacteria will synthesize: OH OH NH2 NH2 NH2 LEUCINE ASPARGINE proteins with altered activity due to gained hydrogen bonding by asparagine. proteins in which asparagine is inserted at most positions normally occupied by leucine. no proteins, because the inappropriately activated tRNAs will block translation. proteins with altered activity due to gained hydrogen bonding by leucine. proteins in which leucine is inserted at a few positions normally occupied by asparagine.

Answer 1

Answer- The correct option is D that is a protein with altered activity due to gained hydrogen bonding of leucine. Because the addition of leucine will alter the activity as the structural and conformational changes will occur.
