Question

4. Some biologists declare "structure determines functions." The 3-D molecular geometry in small molecules (or units of molecules) are critical in the final shape of larger structures. Give an example, not found in your notes or textbook that illustrate how a change a final shape can affect how the structure functions (or how other substances interact with it) and explain your choice.​

Answer 1

The Three-Dimensional Structure of Biological Macromolecules Determines How They Function. ... Structural molecular biology uses x-ray diffraction, nuclear magnetic resonance, and other techniques to determine the three-dimensional arrangement of the atoms in biological molecules.
