Question: Studying the genome of that same cell, the scientist discovers the following sequence. She is keen to identify which possible proteins could be coded for by this sequence. To qualify as a legitimate answer, the proteins must contain the N-terminal amino acid methionine, but need not go all the way to the C-terminal stop codon.

1. Methionine-Tyrosine-Histidine-Tryptophan-Methionine-Arginine
2. Methionine-Proline-Arginine-AsparticAcid-Leucine-Proline-Histidine-Proline-Valine- V aline-Histidine-Glycine
3. Methionine-Valine-Threonine-Tyrosine-Alanine-Isoleucine
4. Serine-Isoleucine-Histidine-Valine-Proline-Leucine-AsparticAcid-Alanine-Valine- Asparagine-Proline
