All results from the mutation analysis are summarised in <xr id="summary"/>. Physicochemical properties are specified as characteristics of the aa, side chain polarity and charge.

Val53Met The main effect of the change from valine to methonine is mainly due to the structure, because both aa are nonpolar and neutral. Methionine is linear and valine has a branched structure. As can be seen in the picture, this could lead to clashes with the alpha helix above the methionine.
