The shape of proteins primarily is determined by the order of amino acids (the building blocks of proteins, all strung together in a single line, can be ten's of thousands long).
Interactions between the building blocks causes the proteins to fold and twist on itself (1) and multiple protein molecules can come together to shape bigger molecule complexes (2).

What two factors determine the shape or a protein?
Protein shape is determined by the type and sequence of the amino acids that make it up. The bonds between the amino acids caused the protein chain to bend in specific ways.
What 2 factors determine the shape of a snow crystal?
gravity and acceleration due to it or a friction in air which cause its uniform velocity
The final three dimentional shape of a protein is?
It is called the tertiary structure of a protein. 'Clumping' two or more tertiary protein structures together yields the quaternary form, or shape.
Which two levels of protein structure principally determine the active site of an enzyme?
Quaternary and Tertiary levels of protein structure principally determine the active site of an enzyme.
The two main factors that determine climate are?
Temperature and rainfall
What two factors determine the shape or a protein?
Protein shape is determined by the type and sequence of the amino acids that make it up. The bonds between the amino acids caused the protein chain to bend in specific ways.
Two factors that determine the shape of a protein?
Firstly it's primary [linear] sequence structure, and secondly it's secondarily 3-D folding structure.
What two factors determine how heavy an object can be to float?
Shape and density
What two factors determine the shape of a snow crystal?
it is given by speed.velocity and the direction
What are two factors that determine the proporties of a hydrocarbon?
This is a little vague, but size and shape?
What 2 factor determine the shape of the crystal?
the two factors r they are colder then the others
What 2 factors determine the shape of a snow crystal?
gravity and acceleration due to it or a friction in air which cause its uniform velocity
What factors determine a biome?
Two factors that determine a biome are precipitation and temperature.
What are the two factors that determine the density of materials?
The two factors that determine a material's density (such as that of wood) are its mass and volume.
Explain the factors that determine an object's kinetic energy?
There are two factors that determine and object's kinetic energy. The two main factors are mass and velocity.
What are the two factors that determine a materials density of wood?
The two factors that determine a material's density (such as that of wood) are its mass and volume.
What is the main factor that determines the quality of a food protein?
two factors influence protein quality- the proteins digestibility and its amino acid composition.
