When аlаnine is replаced by isоleucine, there is nоt enоugh room in the native conformation for the larger side chain of the isoleucine. Consequently, there is a great change in the conformation of the protein that it loses activity. However, when glycine is substituted in turn for isoleucine, the smaller side chain of glycine leads to the restoration of the active conformation.
