First of all, a protein consists of chains of amino acids and a single amino acid is coded by one codon of DNA. Mutations are able to insert, delete, replace and shift codons, which can result in amino acids being changed, removed or added, which would affect the protein that the amino acids are building.
For example;
Here is a strand of DNA in which the three codons in the middle codes for the amino acids.
....TGG ATT ATG GAG TTC....-----> Isoleucine, Methionine, Glutamic acid
Say that the strand of DNA has it's reading frame mutated (shifted).
....GGA TTA TGG AGT TC....-----> Leucine, Tryptophan, Serine
Notice how completely different amino acids arose from the mutation. Such a change may effect the protein's characteristics, as well as the phenotype of the organism.

Write the normal value of plasma protein?
Plasma proteins are proteins that are present in blood plasma. The normal laboratory value of plasma total protein is around 7 g/dL.
How does an enzyme become denatured?
An enzyme becomes denatured when: A) the temperature exceeds the optimum temperature for that enzyme (ie the temperature that it works best at) B) the pH of the surrounding of the enzyme is too low or too high for the optimum pH for that enzyme. When enzymes are heated up too much they vibrate so vigorously that the bonds holding the protein structure in its specific shape becomes broken. The enzyme shape changes and the substrate no longer fits in to the active site. An enzyme which has become denatured is permanently inactive and will take no further part in reactions.
Why do eggs change in different liquids?
because there are many tiny holes in the egg's shell, and once the liquid is absorbed into the inside of the egg, the different chemicals inside the egg and it's shell react to it.
What are the effects of denatured alcohol to human?
Denatured alcohol or methylated alcohol is toxic if ingested by humans. It has a debilitating effect on the nervous system and can cause death quite rapidly.
If Denatured alcohol mixes with msm what reaction will you get?
A hostile one.....*chop*
When a protein loses its normal configuration?
Denatured
What is protein denatured by?
A denatured protein has had its structure dismantled or altered, rendering it disfunctional or nonfunctional, and therefore useless.
What happened to a protein that has become denatured?
A protein is denatured because of high temperatures or changes in pH. When it is denatured, it means that the protein has lost its original shape and therefore, it cannot function properly anymore.
What is a change in the normal confirmation of a protein that often results in loss of protein function called?
A change in the normal confirmation of a protein that results in loss of protein function is called denaturation. This can be caused by factors such as heat, pH changes, or exposure to chemicals. Denaturation disrupts the protein's structure, leading to loss of its normal biological activity.
What is a non working protein called?
A non-working protein is typically referred to as a misfolded protein. Misfolded proteins have an altered three-dimensional structure that prevents them from carrying out their normal function in the cell.
A protein can become denatured when?
A protein can become denatured when exposed to high temperatures, extreme pH levels, or harsh chemicals. This process disrupts the protein's shape and alters its function, which can lead to loss of biological activity.
Which level of protein structure is unaffected when a protein is denatured?
The primary structure
A denatured protein is one that?
A denatured protein is one that has lost its normal structure and function due to factors such as heat, pH changes, or chemical exposure. This disruption alters the protein's shape, leading to a loss of its biological activity.
Dose a denatured protein works faster?
No
What Would probably not be affected when a protein is denatured?
The primary structure of the protein, which refers to the sequence of amino acids, would likely not be affected when a protein is denatured. Denaturation usually disrupts the secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structures of a protein.
If a proteins shape is changed it has been?
If a proteins shape is changed it has likely been denatured. This is often a breakdown and rearrangement of the protein.
A denatured protein may re-form to its funtional shape when returned to its normal enviorntment What does that indicate about a protein's confirmation?
a denature protein may re-form to its functional shape when returned to its normal environment. what does that indicate about a protein's conformation? Proteins fold in natural environment (water) in a way that they are stable, but a non-polar solvent provides a very different environment, so the protein has to unfold and adopt a very different shape.
