Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -If one amino acid in a protein sequence is changed the protein could change its function or become non-functional entirely. Amino acids make up the structure of proteins. If even one amino acid is changed, the three-dimensional structure of the protein can change, thus changing its function.
Detailed explanation-3: -Because amino acid sequence determines protein structure and structure dictates biochemical function, proteins that share a similar amino acid sequence usually perform similar biochemical functions, even when they are found in distantly related organisms.
Detailed explanation-4: -The amino acids contain R groups that interact with each other creating a three-dimensional structure. This higher-order structure decides the biological activity of that protein. if the wrong amino acid joins the polypeptide chain the higher-order structure will change, effecting the functioning of the protein.
