A mutation resulting in a change in the primary amino acid sequence far from the active site might still affect enzyme activity if it:

  • Prevents substrate binding.
  • Alters the overall 3D folding and thus the active site's shape.
  • Increases the enzyme's affinity for its product.
  • Makes the enzyme more resistant to denaturation.
