Question

The structure and function of a protein is determined by the:

A. sequence of amino acids.
B. type of RNA that it is translated from.
C. strength of the hydrogen bonds in the DNA strand the gene is from.
D. amount of ATP consumed to create it.

Answer 1

A. sequence of amino acids.

Step-by-step explanation:

The function of a protein is directly dependent on its threedimensional structure (Figure 3.1). Remarkably, proteins spontaneously fold up into three-dimensional structures that are determined by the sequence of amino acids in the protein polymer. ... Proteins contain a wide range of functional groups.
