PROTEINS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The primary structure of a protein is:
A
the protein structure at its preferred pH and temperature.
B
the protein structure that results from intermolecular twisting and bonding.
C
the final, most important, folded structure of the protein.
D
the sequence of amino acids coded by the DNA.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -To reiterate, the primary structure of a protein is defined as the sequence of amino acids linked together to form a polypeptide chain. Each amino acid is linked to the next amino acid through peptide bonds created during the protein biosynthesis process.

Detailed explanation-2: -The mRNA interacts with a specialized complex called a ribosome, which “reads” the sequence of mRNA nucleotides. Each sequence of three nucleotides, called a codon, usually codes for one particular amino acid. (Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.)

Detailed explanation-3: -What is the primary structure of a protein? The linear sequence of amino acids within a protein is called the primary structure of the protein. A sequence of just twenty amino acids, each of which has a special side chain, is made up of proteins. The side chains of amino acids are chemically distinct.
