Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The sequence of amino acids determines the ____ of proteins
A
DNA
B
Structure
C
Nucleotide
D
Quaternary
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The sequence of amino acids of a protein determines protein shape, since the chemical properties of each amino acid are forces that give rise to intermolecular interactions to begin to create secondary structures, such as -helices and -strands.

Detailed explanation-2: -The primary structure of a protein-its amino acid sequence-drives the folding and intramolecular bonding of the linear amino acid chain, which ultimately determines the protein’s unique three-dimensional shape.

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.
