Question

The specific sequence in which amino acids are arranged in a protein is called:

• A. Secondary structure
• B. Primary structure
• C. Tertiary structure
• D. Quaternary structure

Hint:

The primary structure of proteins is crucial because it determines how the protein folds into its functional form.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The primary structure of a protein refers to the linear sequence of amino acids connected by peptide bonds. This sequence determines the protein’s overall shape and function. Any change in the primary structure (mutation) can affect the protein's biological activity, as seen in diseases like sickle cell anemia.
