Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The shape of a protein is usually determined by its amino acid sequence. Changing individual amino acids doesn’t have the same effect as changing the sequence-it changes how the protein folds, and what it looks like when you view it under an electron microscope.
Detailed explanation-2: -The function of a protein is determined by its shape. If the protein’s three-dimensional structure is disrupted due to an alteration in the structure of the amino acids, the protein gets denatured. Due to its denaturation, the protein fails to execute its function as intended.
