Question

what will happen if there is a mutation in the atp synthase protein which makes it to work in opposite direction?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Impared energy provision.

Explanation:

A mutation at nucleotide position 8993 of human mitochondrial DNA, located within the gene for ATP synthase subunit 6, is associated with the neurological muscle weakness, ataxia, and retinitis pigmentosa (NARP) syndrome.

Answer 2

Explanation:

 Mutations in human mitochondrial DNA are well recognized cause of a diseases. A mutation at nucleotide position 8993 of human mitochondrial DNA, located gene for ATP  synthase subunit 6, is associated with the neurological muscle weakness, ataxia, and retinitis pigmentosa (NARP) syndrome. These findings indicate that altered assembly and stability of ATP synthase are underlying molecular defects associated with t NARP mutation in subunit 6 of ATP  synthase, yet intrinsic enzyme activity is also compromised.
