Reference no: EM1385851

Assume you ask is to work with the genetic code and examine the structure and characteristics of the amino acids used to make proteins and answer the following question.

Hint: Think about how the different amino acids contribute to protein structure. You don't need to discuss the role of amino acids in metabolism in this question.

1) If you had the ability to engineer an organism to have a 2 letter genetic code, how many of the 20 amino acids found in proteins would you have to get rid of, which ones would you get rid of, and why?
