The primary structure of a protein specifically describes the ________.
A)location of disulfide bonds
B)linear sequence of amino acids
C)overall three-dimensional shape
D)Φ and Ψ angles for each amino acid

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The primary structure of a protein refers to the linear sequence of amino acids that make up the polypeptide chain. This sequence determines the ultimate three-dimensional shape and function of the protein. The location of disulfide bonds and Φ and Ψ angles are part of the secondary and tertiary structures, respectively.
