Table 1.

For each amino acid (AA) that can have double-synonym single-nucleotide mutations, we list all of the possible codons which do not code for stop on the complementary strand, indicating their reverse complement (Comp. AA).

AA Codon S(n)+S(v) D(n)+D(v) Comp. AA
Leu UUG* 1 + 0 1 + 0 Gln
CUU 1 + 1 0 + 0 Lys
CUC 1 + 1 0 + 0 Glu
CUG* 1 + 2 1 + 0 Gln
Pro CCU* 1 + 2 0 + 1 Arg
CCC 1 + 2 0 + 0 Gly
CCA 1 + 2 0 + 0 Trp
CCG* 1 + 2 0 + 1 Arg
Gln CAA* 1 + 0 1 + 0 Leu
CAG* 1 + 0 1 + 0 Leu
Arg CGU 1 + 2 0 + 0 Thr
CGC 1 + 2 0 + 0 Ala
CGA* 1 + 3 0 + 1 Ser
CGG* 1 + 3 0 + 1 Pro
AGA* 1 + 1 0 + 1 Ser
AGG* 1 + 1 0 + 1 Pro
Ser UCU* 1 + 1 0 + 1 Arg
UCC 1 + 1 0 + 0 Gly
UCG* 1 + 2 0 + 1 Arg
AGU 1 + 0 0 + 0 Thr

The codons that have a double synonym are marked with an asterisk. For each of these codons, we list the number of mutations which are synonymous, and the number of double synonym mutations. In each case the numbers of single (double) mutations are written S(n)+S(v) (D(n)+D(v)), where the superscript n denotes transitions, and superscript v transversions. Also, double synonyms are counted in the list of single synonyms.
