Comparing the results within a series and between different series, showed that variation between synonymous codons of the GLY family was greater than variation from one amino acid to another.
From a methodological perspective, leaky scanning could be further used as a means to control protein expression to desired levels, since restart of translation after a premature stop codon is sensitive to the number of nucleotides separating the stop and restart codons [ 39 ] . By changing the position of the restart methionine relative to the premature stop codon, it might be possible to significantly change the level of expression of the distal protein fragment and hence functional protein as a whole.
