Answer:

If a protein loses its shape at any structural level, it may no longer be functional.

Step-by-step explanation:

Protein structure depends on its amino acid sequence and local, low-energy chemical bonds between atoms in both the polypeptide backbone and in amino acid side chains. Protein structure plays a key role in its function; if a protein loses its shape at any structural level, it may no longer be functional.
