Both serine and leucine would be on the exterior of the protein.
-
Leucine would be on the interior, and serine would be on the exterior of the protein.
-
Serine would be on the interior, and leucine would be on the exterior of the protein.

Bond D
Pregunta 19
Pregunta
The functionality of a protein is determined by its shape when in its native conformation. The native conformation of a protein is determined by the set of amino acids that comprise the protein's sequence. A certain protein consists of 325 amino acids. What could be the result if one of the amino acids in this protein were changed?
Respuesta
-
The primary structure of the protein would not be altered but its tertiary structure and function would be altered.
-
The tertiary structure would be changed but the protein's function would not be affected.
-
The primary structure, tertiary structure, and the biological function would be altered.
-
There would be no change to the structure or the function of the protein.
