👉 Dermutation is a process in molecular biology where a genetic mutation occurs at one or more positions within a DNA sequence, leading to a change in the amino acid sequence of a protein. This can result in an altered function of the protein, as well as changes in its structure and stability. Dermutations are common in many organisms, including bacteria, yeast, and other prokaryotic species, which produce a variety of proteins that play important roles in cellular functions such as growth, repair, and signaling
