Such a change dramatically changes the local environment, causing the protein to mis-fold B) The observed mutation is a negatively charged to a polar amino acid. Such a change dramatically changes the local environment, causing the protein to mis-fold C) The observed mutation is a positively charged to a nonpolar amino acid. Such a change dramatically changes the local environment, causing the protein to mis-fold D) The observed mutation is a nonpolar to a negatively charged amino acid. Such a change dramatically changes the local environment, causing the protein to mis-fold E) The observed mutation is a polar uncharged to a nonpolar amino acid. Such a change dramatically changes the local environment, causing the protein to mis-fold
