Main Points of the Paper

  • Suppressors of nonsense codons exist for the regulatory i gene of the lactose operon, thereby proving that the functional i product is a protein.
    • Rationale: suppression of nonsense codons into amino acids occurs at the translational level

Materials and Methods Used

Please list the materials and methods used in this paper (strains, plasmids, antibodies, etc).

  • Mutagenesis of E.coli strain 112-12 (gal-, cys-, his-, su)
    • Mutagen-producing agents: 2-aminopurine or N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosguanidine
  • ONPG solution to select for lac constitutive mutants
