It will depend on how different the amino acid is to the one it replaced. If the structure and/or charge is quite different, a change of one amino acid can change the entire 3D structure of the protein. This will affect the proteins function.
If shape of a protein is changed its function is altered. This might change or stop a particular biochemical pathway in which that enzyme was critical. Specific 3D shape of each protein is very essential for its function. Change in shape of proteins is caused by a mutation in the DNA.
If only one amino acid is coded incorrectly in a protein sequence, it may result in a missense mutation. This could potentially lead to a change in the structure and function of the protein. The impact of the mutation would depend on the specific amino acid involved and its location within the protein.
If one base in a codon was changed, this would be a point mutation. This may not cause any change in the structure of the protein, or it could be severely damaging. Since most amino acids have more than one codon, it's possible that the mutation would result in one of the other codons for that amino acid. In that case, there would be no change in the sequence of amino acids, and no change in the structure or function of the protein. A point mutation might also result in a codon that codes for a totally different amino acid, which can cause a genetic disorder. One example of a genetic disorder caused by a point mutation is sickle cell anemia. It's also possible that the point mutation could cause the codon to code for a stop signal.

By changing the amino acids, you may have also changed the pH of them and enzymes will only work at a certain pH level. This level is different for different enzymes. So the amino acids may well have denatured the enzymes.
Errors during transcription can lead to mutations in the messenger RNA (mRNA) sequence, which could result in changes to the amino acid sequence of the protein being produced. This altered amino acid sequence can affect the protein's structure and function, potentially rendering it non-functional or with altered activity. Additionally, the error may also cause premature termination of the protein synthesis, resulting in a truncated or incomplete protein.
Yes, it already has by changing the amino acid you have a mutation. That one amino acid counld be in the active site of an enzyme and that one amino acid being changed could result in loss of function or reduction in function of the enzyme. Sickle cell animea is caused by a single such amino acid substiution.

The impact of the mutation would depend on the specific amino acid involved and its location within the protein.
A change in the DNA sequence, such as a point mutation, can result in a different amino acid being incorporated into the protein during translation. This can alter the protein's structure, possibly affecting its function or leading to improper folding. In some cases, the mutation may introduce a premature stop codon, resulting in a truncated and non-functional protein.
A point mutation could have no impact or it could be lethal. It depends on whether the mutation changes the amino acid sequence of a protein, or if it changes the amino acid at a critical location in the protein.
If one base in a codon was changed, this would be a point mutation. This may not cause any change in the structure of the protein, or it could be severely damaging.

The sequence of nucleotides in DNA molecule is equivalent and is closely related to an amino acid sequence in the protein molecule. If for any reason the sequence of DNA nucleotides changes it will be reflected in amino acid sequence in the protein. Moreover, the correct sequence of amino acid in the protein will form the correct three-dimensional structure, or tertiary structure, that will confer the biological activity to protein. If a wrong amino acid is translated from a mutated gene in the DNA could change the spatial structure of the protein and therefore modify or erase its biological function.
Changing the primary structure (sequence of amino acids) of a protein can alter its overall function due to changes in the interactions between amino acids. Additionally, modifying the tertiary structure (folding) of a protein can affect its active sites and binding capabilities, consequently impacting its function. Lastly, altering the quaternary structure (arrangement of multiple protein subunits) can lead to changes in protein-protein interactions and overall protein function.
No, codons cannot be "unlocked." Codons are sequences of three nucleotides in mRNA that code for specific amino acids during protein synthesis. Changing codons could alter the amino acid sequence of a protein, potentially leading to dysfunctional proteins.
The codon UGU codes for the amino acid Cysteine. The codon UGG codes for the amino acid Tryptophan. Therefore the mutation will cause the amino acid Cysteine to be replaced with Tryptophan. These amino acids are quite different, and the final shape of the protein could be changed as a result. This could affect the function of the protein.
A mutation is a change in DNA, so when u change the DNA this affects the sequence of the amino acid in the primary structure. this later changes the folding of the r groups because u don't have the right unique sequence of amino acid that was encoded by the DNA
