The secondary and tertiary structures of a protein are largely determined by the $\qquad$ structure of the protein.

Question

Accepted Answer

∻Answer∻ ⚹ The secondary and tertiary structures of a protein are largely determined by the primary structure of the protein. ⚹ ∻Solution∻ ‖ a ⋮ Primary structure: The sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain forms the primary structure, which is encoded by the organism's DNA. ‖ ‖ b ⋮ Secondary structure: Hydrogen bonds between the backbone atoms in the polypeptide chain create alpha-helices and beta-sheets. ‖ ‖ c ⋮ Tertiary structure: The overall three-dimensional shape of a protein, including interactions like hydrophobic interactions, ionic bonds, hydrogen bonds, and disulfide bridges between R groups of the amino acids. ‖ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹ Primary structure determines secondary and tertiary structures ⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹ The sequence of amino acids dictates how the protein will fold into its secondary and tertiary structures, which are critical for the protein's function. ⚹◊What is the primary structure of a protein?⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
