Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which protein structure describes the sequence of amino acids?
A
Primary
B
Secondary
C
Tertiary
D
Quaternary
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The primary structure of a peptide or protein is the linear sequence of its amino acids (AAs). By convention, the primary structure of a protein is read and written from the amino-terminal (N) to the carboxyl-terminal (C) end. Each amino acid is connected to the next by a peptide bond.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -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-4: -Protein primary structure is the linear sequence of amino acids in a peptide or protein. By convention, the primary structure of a protein is reported starting from the amino-terminal (N) end to the carboxyl-terminal (C) end. Protein biosynthesis is most commonly performed by ribosomes in cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -The sequence of amino acids in a protein is the primary structure. There are four levels of structure to a protein that determines its final form, primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary. Primary structure refers to the sequence of amino acids in a protein.
