Question

Studies peg the number of proteins in the human body to be around 10,000 to several billions. This diversity is a result of the differences in the structure of proteins. Which property of proteins affects its structure?
A.
shape of amino groups

B.
sequence of amino acids

C.
number of carboxyl groups

D.
bond between amino acids

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is - option B.

Explanation:

The diversity of numbers of proteins in the human body is due to the differences in the structure of proteins. This change or difference in the structure of proteins is mainly affected by the sequence of amino acids.

The order of sequence of amino acid segment or residue in the peptide chain of the protein affects the structure of the particular protein which also leads to change in the secondary and tertiary structure of the protein.

Thus, the correct answer is - option B.
