|
The order of amino acids dictates the function of the protein and what shape the protein will fold into.
|
|
|
It is not important. The protein folding chamber will force the protein to fold into the correct shape.
|
|
|
The order of the amino acids tells the cell what DNA to make.

|
|
It is not important that is why most mutatiosn are silent.

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 shape of a protein is solely determined by the amino acid sequence in the polypeptide chain. That’s right; it is just like DNA, unique code makes a unique design. Protein folding is the result of physical properties of amino acids’ side chains and their interactions with the environment around them.
Detailed explanation-3: -The shape of a protein is critical to its function because it determines whether the protein can interact with other molecules. Protein structures are very complex, and researchers have only very recently been able to easily and quickly determine the structure of complete proteins down to the atomic level.
Detailed explanation-4: -The shape of a protein is determined by its primary structure (sequence of amino acids). The sequence of amino acids in a protein is determined by the sequence of nucleotides in the gene (DNA) encoding it.
