Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The primary structure of a protein determines the sequence of amino acids, which in turn determines how the protein will fold into its higher-level structures. If the primary structure is incorrect, it is likely that any higher-level folding will also be incorrect. Therefore, choice B is the correct answer.
