Small heat shock proteins (sHSP) are molecular chaperons which play a key role in protein homeostasis under stress conditions. Point mutation of aspartic acid (D) substitution for asparagine (N) at residue 11 (D11N) in HSP16.9B protein was predicted in HSP16.9B gene in wheat. However, its impact on protein function and structural consequences has not been explored. In this study, we examined the effect of point mutation using molecular modelling and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Moreover, point
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
