Mutated amino acids and their translation probabilities with regard to the changes in four RNA codons ACU, ACC, ACA, and ACG

RNA codon ACU ACC ACA ACG
Original amino acid Threonine Threonine Threonine Threonine

Proline Proline Proline Proline
Alanine Alanine Alanine Alanine

Total I 4 alanines + 2 arginines + 2 asparagines + 3 isoleucines + 2 lysines + methionine + 4 prolines + 6 serines + 12 threonines
Translation probability I 4/36 + 2/36 + 2/36 + 3/36 + 2/36 + 1/36 + 4/36 + 6/36 + 12/36
Total II 4 alanines + 2 arginines + 2 asparagines + 3 isoleucines + 2 lysines + methionine + 4 prolines + 6 serines
Translation probability II 4/24 + 2/24 + 2/24 + 3/24 + 2/24 + 1/24 + 4/24 + 6/24

I and II indicate the inclusion and exclusion, respectively, of the same type of amino acids before and after mutation, i.e., the mutated amino acid is threonine.
