A protein's function is dependent on environmental factors such as ph and temperature. What property of the protein itself dictates a protein's function

Respuesta :

Answer;

-The shape of a protein and the amino acid sequence.

Explanation;

-The function of a protein is determined by its shape. The shape of a protein is determined by its primary structure (sequence of amino acids). The sequence of amino acids in a protein is determined by the sequence of nucleotides in the gene (DNA) encoding it.

-A protein's specific shape determines its function. If the three-dimensional structure of the protein is altered because of a change in the structure of the amino acids, the protein becomes denatured and does not perform its function as expected.
