Question

Using the template below that represents the four levels of protein structure, place an X on each level that is expected to be altered as a result of the amino acid substitutions shown in figure 1

Answer 1

The given question is incomplete as there is no figure attached. However, the correct figure is attached to the answer:

Answer:

Due to the amino acid substitutions, there will be alteration or modification in all the levels of protein structure, since there is an interchange n between two very crucial residues and two amino acids extremely different in nature.

Amino acid substitution is a change in one or more amino acids to another amino acid that takes place in the primary structure. This results in a change in secondary structure and then further. Thus the X should be placed on all the levels of protein structure.
