Hello,

I'm trying to figure out what are the changes to the protein structure caused by insertion of an adenine in a human gene, that causes a P->A amino acid change at the insertion site but also a shift in reading frame and insertion of a STOP further down. This should result in a truncated protein but what I would really like to know is how damaging these changes in C-terminal sequence would be in terms of protein folding and stability. I've found several tools online but none seems to do what I want or to request information I don't have. I have both the AA (or DNA) sequence of the WT protein and the same for the frameshift mutant. Data from patients suggests it could be acting as a dominant negative and, therefore, still being expressed. Sorry if this is basic, but these are not my usual swimming waters. Thanks in advance.
