This won't help - she doesn't even know her name

The fact that she uses E.coli ribosomal protein L1
strongly indicates that this is really homework.

I'd apply the "inverse" of this line to the codon table
(or a copy thereof, or just adding the entries) in the hope
that changing 37 table entries is less work than changing
each codon in a base sequence.
