DNA

Turns out that the DNA used for coding the protein I am working with is damaged. We made a single residue mutation, which seems to have worked, as per the sequencer. However, there are several other insertions and deletions. These lead to frameshift mutations, among other things. That might explain our recent misery in getting the protein to behave.Well, back to the lab again....
