Question 36 of 55

1

The primary structure of a protein is formed by the specific sequence of . The primary structure determines its and therefore function so changing just a single amino acid in the chain could potentially change the way the whole protein works.

Explanation

Question 37 of 55

1

Select from the dropdown lists to complete the text.

The ( secondary, tertiary ) structure of a protein is the long polypeptide chain being twisted into a ( 2D, 3D ) shape. This is caused by the ( hydrogen, disulfide ) bonds that form between the H from the ( positive, negative ) NH group of one and the O of another's ( positive, negative ) C=O.

Explanation

Question 38 of 55

1

The tertiary structure of the protein is formed by the secondary structure being further coiled and twisted into a more ❌ and recognisable shape. This shape is maintained by three types of bonds: hydrogen bonds, ❌ bonds and disulfide bridges. The ❌ bonds are numerous but easily broken. The ionic bonds are stronger than the hydrogen bonds however they are easily broken by a change in ❌. The disulfide bridges are the ❌ out of the three.
