How does a change in a nitrogen base alter the formation of a resulting protein?

EASY, one tiny little change in the sequence of a strand of nucleotides making up the DNA could turn normal functioning cells to the sickle cell disease. It is very important that the processes during transcription and translation go smoothly, or something bad could go wrong when a baby is born or something like that. It doesn't take a lot to mess up.

∙ 9y agoEven a single base change in the DNA can lead to radical changes in the protein product. This can occur by the loss of a base pair, addition f a base pair or substitution of a base pair, each potentially stopping the synthesis, or creating a frame-shift change.

∙ 14y agonucleotide sequence itself determines the folding of the protein .correct folding is essential for the protein to be functional. a change in single nucleotide alters the reading frame thus effecting the folding, and function of it.

its property as a base to the lone pair of electrons of a nitrogen atom.

If one of the nitrogen bases were replaced by a different base what effect might that have on protein synthesis?
It depends. Because many amino acids have more than one codon, it may not affect the protein at all. However, if it does change the amino acid sequence, it could cause a change in the three-dimensional structure of the protein, resulting in a mutation.
A random change in the base sequence of DNA resulting in the production of a defective protein is called?
A mutation refers to a change of base pair in DNA. This mainly occurs through a substitution, deletion or insertion of a base pair. In most cases, protein synthesis is disrupted.
What would happen to a protein if the gene was changed DNA?
Change the DNA code & you change the protein.
When a signal molecule binds to a receptor protein the receptor protein may change the?
shape.
What is a nitrogen-fixing bacteria?
Although the air is made up of about 70% nitrogen, plants cannot use nitrogen in this N2 form. Nitrogen fixing bacteria change nitrogen into the form of soluble nitrates so that plants can use it. Other bacteria, known as de-nitrifying bacteria, change nitrates back into N2, which completes the nitrogen cycle Updated by: Levi Levitt
What is a A genetic mutation that does not result in a change in the amino acid sequence of the resulting protein is called?
a silent mutation.

Is liquifying nitrogen a chemical change?
It is a chemical change because it can change back if you refreeze the nitrogen and it changed the chemical.
What are some clues that an object has undergone a chemical change?
Color change, precipitate formation, gas formation, temperature change
What are indicators of a chemical change?
Things that can indicate a chemical change has occurred includeChange in colorRelease or absorption of energy (light, heat, etc.)Formation of gasFormation of precipitationIn chemical changes, the composition of the substance changes, and it is often difficult to reverse the process.
