Which structural level of protein X would be LEAST affected if the structure of a chaperone protein of protein X is changed?
(A) primary structure
(B) secondary structure
(C) tertiary structure
(D) quaternary structure

Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct answer is option A, that is, primary structure.

Explanation:

The molecular chaperones, in molecular biology, refers to the proteins, which helps in the process of unfolding or covalent folding and the disassembly and assembly of other macromolecular compositions. ┬а

In case, if the chaperone protein gets affected, the primary structure of the protein would be the least influenced as the primary structure is just a linear chain of the sequences of amino acids. While chaperones function on its folding to secondary and tertiary structure. ┬а

There is no folding taking place in the primary structure of the protein, thus, there would be the least influence on the primary structure of the protein X if the chaperone protein gets changed. ┬а
