Amyloid protein of Gerstmann-Straussler-Scheinker disease (Indiana kindred) is an 11 kd fragment of prion protein with an N-terminal glycine at codon 58. Biologists have long held that swapping one codon for another doesn't change the resulting protein's structure, as long as both codons instruct the machinery to insert the same amino acid.
