412 results about "Amino acid mutation" patented technology

A mutation is any random change in the DNA. The sequence of amino acids is critical to the performance of a protein; even a single amino acid in the wrong place can cause an enzyme to be non-functional or cause a disease such as Sickle Cell Anemia.
