In a certain mutant strain of bacteria the enzyme Leucyl tRNA Synthetase mistakenly attaches cysteine to leucyl tRNA instead of leucine The result would be that Protein synthesis will stop at the first leucine codon because the incorrectly matched tRNAs will not be recognized by the ribosome O Proteins will have cysteine inserted in positions normally occupied by leucine O Proteins will have leucine inserted in positions normally occupied by cysteine Protein synthesis will be normal because the ribosome reads the mRNA and selects the tRNA based on the attached amino acid
