|
What does the overall shape and folding of a protein relate to its function?
|
|
The folding and shape determine whether the protein can provide the necessary energy the cell needs to function.
|
|
|
The folding and shape play a important role in how many different atoms carbon can bond with.
|
|
|
The folding and shape determine the role the protein plays in maintaining homeostasis.
|
|
|
The folding and shape have nothing to do with how a protein functions.
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Each protein normally folds up into a single stable conformation. However, the conformation often changes slightly when the protein interacts with other molecules in the cell. This change in shape is often crucial to the function of the protein, as we see later.
Detailed explanation-2: -The amino acid sequence of a protein determines its three-dimensional shape.
