The following analyses were performed on the basis of the α-Galactosidase A sequence. Please consult the journal for the commands used to generate the results.

Preparation

<figtable id="tab:MutSCWRL"> Mutagenesis of the 2 selected SNPs performed with SCWRL in Task 8. This was done on the basis of a backbone dependant library. The wildtype amino acid is shown in green, the mutated one in red. The whole structure of the wildtype is colored light blue, the mutant light red. Hydrogen bonds of the mutant to the surrounding are depicted in red, those of the not mutated site in green.

R118H

R356W

</figtable>

We chose to use the SNPs R118H and R356W. For the first one we want to examine if it is really not disease causing, although all results indicate otherwise so far. The second one has a strong effect on the protein. For both, we used the structur obtained by Scwrl in Task 8
