Protein structure is the three-dimensional arrangement of atoms in a protein molecule. Proteins are polymers — specifically polypeptides — formed from sequences of amino acids, the monomers of the polymer. A single amino acid monomer may also be called a residue (chemistry) indicating a repeating unit of a polymer. Proteins form by amino acids undergoing condensation reactions, in which the amino acids lose one water molecule per reaction in order to attach to one another with a peptide bond. By convention, a chain under 30 amino acids is often identified as a peptide, rather than a protein.[1] To be able to perform their biological function, proteins fold into one or more specific spatial conformations driven by a number of non-covalent interactions such as hydrogen bonding, ionic interactions, Van der Waals forces, and hydrophobic packing. To understand the functions of proteins at a molecular level, it is often necessary to determine their three-dimensional structure. This is the topic of the scientific field of structural biology, which employs techniques such as X-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy, and dual polarisation interferometry to determine the structure of proteins.
Protein structures range in size from tens to several thousand amino acids.[2] By physical size, proteins are classified as nanoparticles, between 1–100 nm. Very large aggregates can be formed from protein subunits. For example, many thousands of actin molecules assemble into a microfilament.
A protein may undergo reversible structural changes in performing its biological function. The alternative structures of the same protein are referred to as different conformational isomers, or simply, conformations, and transitions between them are called conformational changes.
I think it is D. The National Institutes of Health found it effective in reducing pain and other symptoms, but it is not clear how it works.
Hello LonelyPerson, to answer your question.
The Galápagos were officially annexed by Ecuador in February 12 1832 and were named "Archipelago del Ecuador.". It is still today officially a province of Ecuador. Ecuador claimed the <span>Galápagos Islands</span> just three years before their most famous visitor, Charles Darwin, dropped anchor on the Beagle and stepped ashore and into history.

A. it has uracil
We know the sequence is RNA because it contains uracil.
Answer:
There will be a change in the genetic information that gets transmitted due to the mutation in the complementary strand being used as template in future DNA replication.
