The viewer helps interpret the mutation present in Gaucher's Disease. The correct amino acid for this protein at amino acid position 444 is Leucine, and in the affected protein it is changed to Proline. Shown are two monomers of the protein; initially, one is dark green; the other is colored to reflect secondary structure.
