|
|
The order of amino acids dictates 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.
|
|
|
Either A or B
|
|
|
None of the above

Detailed explanation-1: -The chemistry of amino acid side chains is critical to protein structure because these side chains can bond with one another to hold a length of protein in a certain shape or conformation. Charged amino acid side chains can form ionic bonds, and polar amino acids are capable of forming hydrogen bonds.
Detailed explanation-2: -The amino acid sequence of a protein determines its 3D structure. Folding of proteins into their correct native structure is key to their function. Failure to fold properly produces inactive or toxic proteins that malfunction and cause a number of diseases.
Detailed explanation-3: -The amino acid sequence of a protein or peptide is useful information to understand the protein or peptide, identify it in a sample and categorize its post-translational modifications. The process of determining the amino acid sequence is known as protein sequencing.
Detailed explanation-4: -The actual order of the amino acids in the protein is called its primary structure and is determined by DNA. The order of deoxyribonucleotide bases in a gene determines the amino acid sequence of a particular protein.
