A missense mutation is when the change of a single base pair causes the substitution of a different amino acid in the resulting protein.This amino acid substitution may have no effect, or it may render the protein nonfunctional. single base pair substitution that results in the translation of a different amino acid at that position. Definition from: GeneReviews from the University of Washington and the National Center for Biotechnology Information.
second-site mutation. see suppressor mutation. silent mutation. one in which there is a base change but because of the redundancy of the genetic code the same amino acid is coded, or one in which there is an amino acid substitution in the protein which has no detectable effect on the phenotype.
