Temperature, pH, amino acid sequence, and denaturation are all factors that contribute to Multiple Choice the level of organization seen within a protein. the size of a protein. the location of a protein. whether or not a protein functions as an enzyme.

An amino acid in a protein was replaced with a different amino acid and now the protein no longer functions properly. This is because Group of answer choices the structure of a protein affects its function. all of the answers are true. amino acids have different side chains with specific functional groups. proteins fold into specific shapes based on their amino acid sequence.

If a hydrophilic amino acid, normally found on the surface of a folded enzyme, were changed to a hydrophobic amino acid, what is a likely result? A The protein's ability to form peptide bonds could be affected. B The function of the enzyme could be expanded to allow it to bind many new substrates. C The enzyme may not work because the tertiary structure of the enzyme would change. D The tertiary structure would be stabilized by one or more additional hydrogen bonds E Nothing. One amino acid wouldn't make a difference to the shape of the protein.
