Do change same protein (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

impersonate

'do' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'change same protein' is the wordplay.
'change' indicates an anagram.
'same'+'protein'='sameprotein'
'sameprotein' anagrammed gives 'IMPERSONATE'.

(Other definitions for impersonate that I've seen before include "Pinch identity of" , "Copy" , "Assume character of another - no spare time (anag)" , "Pretend to be (another person)" , "Take off" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
