Effect of SNPs on creatine kinase structure and function: identifying potential molecular mechanisms for possible creatine kinase deficiency diseases.

Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are common genetic material changes that often occur naturally. SNPs can cause amino acid replacements that may lead to severe diseases, such as the well-known sickle-cell anemia. We constructed eight SNP mutants of human brain-type creatine kinase (CKB) based...
