|
Which of the following statements about protein structure is incorrect?
|
|
A change in one amino acid in the primary structure will cause a change in the entire protein.
|
|
|
Secondary structure uses hydrophobic interactions and to create folds in the polypeptide backbone.
|
|
|
Tertiary structure is the result of interactions between the side chains.
|
|
|
Quaternary structure folds several polypeptides into a functional protein.
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Segments of secondary structure in folded proteins tend to have hydrophobic moments that oppose each other.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hydrogen bonding between amino groups and carboxyl groups in neighboring regions of the protein chain sometimes causes certain patterns of folding to occur. Known as alpha helices and beta sheets, these stable folding patterns make up the secondary structure of a protein.
