FEW CRITICAL AMINO ACIDS. “Small changes (e.g., replacement of one amino acid by another) can sometimes cause large changes in structure (this is not always true). Most proteins (particularly the globular proteins) have very similar amino acid composition. A major part of the protein structure acts as a scaffold for the active site. The active site is composed of a relatively few amino acids.”
