The threedimensional structure of a protein is determined pr

The three-dimensional structure of a protein is determined primarily by:

A) electrostatic guidance from nucleic acid structure.
B) the sequence of amino acids in the protein.
C) how many disulfide bonds are in the protein.
D) hydrophobic interaction with lipids that provide a folding framework.
E) modification during interactions with ribosomes.

Solution

B.

The sequence of amino acids in the peptide chain , determines the primary structuee of protein, where in it is further complicated by alpha helical and beta pleated structures of secondary. The interactions of its side chains and the bond formations with amino acids, give the protein it\'s characteristic tertiary structure.
