If the primary structure of a protein is incorrect
A)the secondary structure will be correct.
B)the tertiary structure will be correct.
C)any quaternary structure will be correct.
D)any higher-level folding of the protein will be incorrect.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The primary structure of a protein refers to the amino acid sequence. If this sequence is incorrect or altered, it will affect the higher-level folding of the protein. The secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structures all depend on the correct primary structure. Therefore, if the primary structure is incorrect, any higher-level folding of the protein will also be incorrect.
