Detailed explanation-1: -The function of a protein is determined by its shape. The shape of a protein is determined by its primary structure (sequence of amino acids). The sequence of amino acids in a protein is determined by the sequence of nucleotides in the gene (DNA) encoding it.
Detailed explanation-2: -Protein function is directly related to the structure of that protein. A protein’s specific shape determines its function. If the three-dimensional structure of the protein is altered because of a change in the structure of the amino acids, the protein becomes denatured and does not perform its function as expected.
Detailed explanation-3: -The shape of a protein is solely determined by the amino acid sequence in the polypeptide chain.
