Detailed explanation-1: -As a result of all of these interactions, each type of protein has a particular three-dimensional structure, which is determined by the order of the amino acids in its chain. The final folded structure, or conformation, adopted by any polypeptide chain is generally the one in which the free energy is minimized.
Detailed explanation-2: -During translation, each protein is synthesized as a linear chain of amino acids or a random coil which does not have a stable 3D structure. The amino acids in the chain eventually interact with each other to form a well-defined, folded protein. The amino acid sequence of a protein determines its 3D structure.
Detailed explanation-3: -Like words in a sentence, the DNA sequence of a gene determines the amino acid sequence for the protein it encodes. In the protein-coding region of a gene, the DNA sequence is interpreted in groups of three nucleotide bases, called codons. Each codon specifies a single amino acid in a protein.
