Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Does the order of amino acids in a protein matter?
A
YES!
B
NO!
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

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: -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-3: -Orders of protein structure: primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary.

Detailed explanation-4: -Each protein has its own sequence of amino acids. The sequence makes the protein take different shapes and have different functions in your body. You can think of amino acids like the letters of the alphabet.
