Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Does the order of amino acids in a protein matter?
A
YES!
B
NO!
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The sequence of amino acids determines each protein’s unique 3-dimensional structure and its specific function.

Detailed explanation-2: -The order of amino acids in a protein does matter. The order of amino acids is the primary sequence in a protein. The primary sequence determines the secondary sequence, if the protein will form an alpha helix or a beta pleated sheet.

Detailed explanation-3: -The significance of the unique sequence, or order, of amino acids, known as the protein’s primary structure, is that it dictates the 3-D conformation the folded protein will have. This conformation, in turn, will determine the function of the protein.

Detailed explanation-4: -Does the order of amino acids in a protein matter? YES!

Detailed explanation-5: -Proteins are therefore also known as polypeptides. Each type of protein has a unique sequence of amino acids, exactly the same from one molecule to the next. Many thousands of different proteins are known, each with its own particular amino acid sequence.
