How Do Properties of Amino Acids Affect the Function of Proteins

question 96

Multiple Choice

How do properties of amino acids affect the function of proteins?

• A) Amino acids vary in their chemical side chains,and interactions among side chains affect the protein folding that determines protein shape and function.
• B) Amino acid side chains link individual amino acids to form linear protein molecules,allowing amine and carboxyl groups to determine protein shape and function.
• C) Amino acids vary in how much adenine,cytosine,thymine,and guanine are present,and these differences affect the protein folding that determines protein function.
• D) Amino acid side chains have active and inactive forms,and the pattern of active and inactive side chains determines how the protein folds and functions.
• E) Amino acids vary in the structure of their amine and carboxyl groups,and interactions among these functional groups affect protein folding and function.
