Question
[CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
|
The three-dimensional structure of a protein is determined primarily by:
|
|
electrostatic guidance from the nucleic acid structure.
|
|
|
how many amino acids are in the protein.
|
|
|
hydrophobic interaction with lipids that provide a folding framework.
|
|
|
modification during interactions with ribosomes.
|
|
|
the sequence of amino acids in the protein.
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The overall three-dimensional structure of a polypeptide is called its tertiary structure. The tertiary structure is primarily due to interactions between the R groups of the amino acids that make up the protein.
Detailed explanation-2: -To reiterate, the primary structure of a protein is defined as the sequence of amino acids linked together to form a polypeptide chain. Each amino acid is linked to the next amino acid through peptide bonds created during the protein biosynthesis process.
