1.5.5 Mutating Amino Acids

  • It is possible to make mutations in the translation sequence via the codon wheel.
  • Select the amino acid you would like to mutate and then either right click on the amino acid and select "Mutate" (Figure 1.5.5.1) from the dropdown menu or left click on the amino acid when the small arrow to the right of the amino acid appears, and then select "Mutate" (Figure 1.5.5.2).
  • The codon wheel will then open (Figure 1.5.5.3). You can filter amino acids by the specific properties displayed on the bottom left of the codon wheel.
  • Select the amino acid from the codon wheel and then click the green check mark.
