Madison Abele (4A) :Bio Mutation Project 1/17/23

The chemicals caused a Point Mutation in the DNA, which led to multiple Missense Mutations in the amino acids that code for myosin.

Normal DNA: TAC AAA AAT TAG CTG GGC GCG GTG GCG CGT GCT

Normal Amino Acids: Val Phe Leu Ile Asp Pro Arg His Arg Ala Arg

Mutated DNA: TAC AAA AAT TGC TGG GCG CGG TGG CGC CAC GA

Mutated Amino Acids: Val Phe Leu Thr Thr Arg Ala Thr Ala His -

This is Katherine Turner, a track star from Newark, New Jersey.

After losing her fifth match and being harassed by the winner (again), she takes a black-market experimental drug to ensure that she will win next time.

Little does she know, this drug may be a bit too enhancing.

And so, Kinesia- a hero with hyperspeed- is born.

Unknown to Kate, the drug contained a mixture of dangerous chemicals. The drug greatly enhanced the productivity of the protein MYOSIN by mutating the DNA.

Myosin converts ATP (chemical energy) into mechanical energy. This protein is responsible for all of the movement in the human body. With the enhancement from the drug, all of the myosin in Kate's body multiplied, allowing for much faster movement.

Kate, now known as Kinesia, wins her next race, but she realizes that cheating made the win much less satisfying.

With her newfound powers, Kinesia fights to destroy her town's black market and the people who are involved in it.
