TABLE 3.

Quantification of nonsense suppression by the supUAA/UAG mutation

Codon Efficiency of suppressiona (%) in:
Wild type supUAA/UAG supD
UAG (amber) 0.13 0.91 74
UAA (ochre) 0.02 0.83 0.03
UGA (opal) 0.64 0.59 1.23
a

Efficiency of suppression was calculated as the luminescence of a luxB nonsense mutant/luminescence of a wild-type lux allele in the same background.
