Write the template sequence for the DNA 3. Transcribe the wild-type and CF DNA into mRNA. Be sure to include the 5'/3' labels. 4. Translate the wild-type and CF mRNA into protein. Be sure to label these ends also. 5. In the above wild-type protein, underline all of the amino acids that have nonpolar characteristics. Circle those that have polar characteristics. Draw the mutant peptide, including the specific R groups that are found with this sequence Circle one peptide bond.
