Question

Which structural level of protein X would be LEAST affected if the structure of a chaperone protein of protein X is changed?

(A) primary structure
(B) secondary structure
(C) tertiary structure
(D) quaternary structure

Answer 1

The correct answer is option A, that is, primary structure.

Step-by-step explanation:

The molecular chaperones, in molecular biology, refers to the proteins, which helps in the process of unfolding or covalent folding and the disassembly and assembly of other macromolecular compositions.

In case, if the chaperone protein gets affected, the primary structure of the protein would be the least influenced as the primary structure is just a linear chain of the sequences of amino acids. While chaperones function on its folding to secondary and tertiary structure.

There is no folding taking place in the primary structure of the protein, thus, there would be the least influence on the primary structure of the protein X if the chaperone protein gets changed.
