Conversions deletion forms

The protein defective in Menkes disease is a membrane-bound protein consisting of 1500 amino acids. Evidence suggests that this protein occurs in the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum, not in the plasma membrane. The mutations in the gene coding for Menkes protein that are responsible for the disease take a number of forms. The gene, as studied in hundreds of human subjects, may contain insertions (an extra nucleotide), deletions (one less nucleotide), conversions of an amino acid s codon to a stop codon (resulting in a truncated protein), and other types of mutations. 

As with the proton-proton cycle, it is possible to determine a net nuclear reaction by deleting all species that appear on both left- and right-hand sides of all equations. As in the proton-proton cycle, the result of that action is the conversion of four hydrogen nuclei (protons) into one helium nucleus, with the release of many neutrinos and large amounts of energy which is carried away in the form of gamma rays ...
