12. Gene Regulation in Prokaryotes Tryptophan Operon and Attenuation
9PRACTICE PROBLEM
In a bacterial strain, the tRNA synthetase responsible for attaching tryptophan to tRNA is mutated, resulting in its reduced efficiency to approximately 15% of the wild-type enzyme. How would this mutation affect the frequency of the 3-4 stem-loop structure formation in mRNA?
