Mutations in a protein Effect: harmful, beneficial, or neutral
Nonsynonymous mutations alter a codonso that the result is a sing
Nonsynonymous replacement in a protein; they mayaffect protein function if the new causes
misfolding or impairsinteractions with other molecule of nonsynonymous mu
areusually harmful, but can occasion
Synonymous beneficial
Synonymous mutations produce a codonthat enco am
acid as thenonmutant. These mutations are
Nonsense Nonsense mutations result in stop codons that
terminate polypeptide
elongation; they are typically harmful.
