Precursor for phenylalanine
Tyrosine
Precursor for thyroxine and melanin
Tyrosine
Precursor for niacin, serotonin and melatonin
Tryptophan
Precursor for homocystreine
Methionine
Deletion or addition of a base wc results in protein products that are shorter than normal and hence usually non functional
Frameshift
Formation of a new stop codon making the protein shorter and non functional
Non sense
New codon specifying the same amino acid, no effect on protein function
Silent mutation
Most common genetic error of amino acid transport
