Consider the roles of IF1, IF2, and IF3 during translation. Predict what the effect would be if IF1, IF2, and IF3 were mutated

What will be an ideal response?


If IF1 was mutated then the second tRNA would bind prematurely to the A site. If IF2 was mutated then the fMET tRNA would not be transferred to the P site of the small ribosome subunit. If IF3 was mutated then the large ribosomal subunit would prematurely bind to the small subunit.
