Phylogenetic Network and Physicochemical Properties of Nonsynonymous Mutations in the Protein-Coding Genes of Human Mitochondrial DNA
2003
Molecular biology and evolution
Theories on molecular evolution predict that phylogenetically recent nonsynonymous mutations should contain more non-neutral amino acid replacements than ancient mutations. We analyzed 840 complete coding-region human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequences for nonsynonymous mutations and evaluated the mutations in terms of the physicochemical properties of the amino acids involved. We identified 465 distinct missense and 6 nonsense mutations. 48% of the amino acid replacements changed polarity,
