In construction, asbestos  was once used.  A known risk from working in sites that had asbestos is the formation of cysts that were caused by the breathing in of asbestos fibers. Cells will phagocytize asbestos, but are not able to break it down. As a result, asbestos fibers accumulate in _____.

Explain how a mutation could change the structure and function of a protein if:  a single cysteine amino acid was changed (substituted) to a nonpolar leucine. Be sure to highlight any bonds that could be affected.  If you instead removed the protein from its native, aqueous solution and placed it into a nonpolar solution (e.g. phenol), would the effect be similar to a mutation or different? Defend your answer.
