Which mutation caused the most drastic change in polypeptide and why?

The mutation that typically causes the most drastic change in a polypeptide is a nonsense mutation, where a single nucleotide change creates a premature stop codon. This results in the truncation of the polypeptide chain, often leading to a nonfunctional protein. In contrast, missense mutations may result in a single amino acid change, and silent mutations do not alter the protein at all. The early termination of translation due to a nonsense mutation can severely impact the protein's structure and function.
