Yes. The shape (and size) of a molecule determines the physical and chemical properties of that substance.
Biochemical reactions, for example, is greatly effected by size and shape of molecules. The senses also depend on molecule shape and size!

∙ 10y agoThe shape of a protein is extremely important. Your body is essentially made of proteins, allowing you to move, absorb energy, and send signals throughout your body. There are 20 amino acids that can form, and proteins are made up of different sequences of these amino acids. Therefore, because proteins are made of the same materials, the overall sequence of amino acids changes the shape of a protein, thereby changing its function in the cell.

The shape of most protein molecules may be described as?
globules or fibrils.
Is a glycoprotein a type of peripheral protein that can be used as a receptor or in enzymatic functions?
it binds with several signaling molecules as it has shape that is complementary to signaling molecules.
A denatured protein or DNA molecules has lost what?
It has lost its active 3D structure and therefore it is not functional anymore.
