Question
- explain why the sequence of amino acids is important for the final 3d structure of a protein.
(1 point) *
to determine how the protein folds
because any change may cause misfolding
because any change can cause loss of biological activity
all of the above
Brief Explanations
The sequence of amino acids (primary structure) determines protein folding (secondary, tertiary, quaternary structures). Changes in sequence can lead to misfolding (e.g., in prion diseases) and loss of biological activity (as in some enzyme - related genetic disorders). So all the given options are valid reasons.
