Protein is made up of a sequence of amino acids. The shape of the protein is usually characterize by the sequence of amino acids present. The functionality of protein is based on its shape. The shape of the protein can be a primary, secondary and tertiary. Tertiary structure of the protein allows it to interact or bind with other molecule in a specific way to perform a specific task.

Answer:

Proteins are the biomolecule present inside the the living organisms. Proteins are made of the polymers of the amino acids that are linked together by peptide bond.

Proteins are biologically active in its 3D conformation and shape. The 3D shape of the protein is achieved by the proper sequence of the amino acids and its folding. Any change in 3D structure of the protein will result in the loss of biological activity of the protein because of the alteration in the amino acid sequence. The 3D shape of proteins is important as it helps the enzymes to work properly to carry out chemical reactions of the body.

In humans there is approximately 30% adenine (A). What is the percentage of each of the other 3 DNA bases?
kvv77 [185]

In Double Stranded DNA , Adenine pairs with Thymine as we know, it means amount of A = Amount of T. Here A=30% so T=30%

Total will be 100% (for all 4 bases) , left out is 30 % which will be equally divided by Guanine and Cytocine , hence G=20% and C=20%.

A=30% T=30% G=20% C=20%
