Question

The specific sequence in which amino acids are arranged in a protein is called:

• A. Secondary structure
• B. Primary structure
• C. Tertiary structure
• D. Quaternary structure

Hint:

The primary structure of proteins is crucial because it determines how the protein folds into its functional form.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The primary structure of a protein is its linear amino acid sequence, linked by peptide bonds. This sequence dictates the protein's final shape and function. Alterations to this primary sequence (mutations) can impact the protein's biological activity, as observed in conditions like sickle cell anemia.
