I feel like there are conflicting answers to this, probably because both play a role...tertiary structure is the actual 3-D structure, which dictates how the protein interacts on a molecular level, but primary structure ultimately determines tertiary...a recent practice question said primary structure, but I've seen tertiary as the answer before...Does anyone have a clear answer/reasoning for that answer??
interesting question. what happens if you change an important catalytic residue but maintain tertiary structure? no function. what if you denature something and it loses shape? no function. both are right. a question like this on the MCAT would definitely be more explicit, examples:
it is found that a patient has a single amino acid mutation resulting in the change in activity of phosphofructokinase. this mutation most directly affects?
-answer: primary structure, its a single amino acid mutation, the rest of the protein is probably the same.
urea, a denaturing agent and byproduct of amino acid metabolism is found abnormally in other parts of the body. enzymes in this part of the body are unable to function properly most likely due to a change in:
-tertiary structure. overall shape has changed.

What is a Missence mutation?
A mutation that causes the code for the wrong amino acid (apexvs.com)
What is a possible effect on an error during transcription?
A possible effect on an error during transcription is that a nonfunctioning protein will be produced. The protein would be made of the wrong amino acids chain will be produced (and wrong shape). The wrong protein will be produced. the wrong amino acid chain will be produced
What is the correct order smallest to largest protein - amino acid - polypeptide?
The correct order from smallest to largest is: amino acid, polypeptide, protein. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, which are made up of one or more polypeptide chains. The polypeptide chains fold and interact to form the final protein structure.
How does a mutation that alters a codon for a specific amino acid to a different codon for the same amino acid affect protein synthesis?
When a mutation changes a codon for a specific amino acid to a different codon for the same amino acid, it usually does not affect protein synthesis. This is because multiple codons can code for the same amino acid, so the change may not alter the final protein product.
What would happen if the stop codon was mutated to encode for another amino acid, disrupting the normal termination of protein synthesis?
If the stop codon is mutated to encode for another amino acid, it would result in the incorporation of that amino acid into the protein being synthesized, leading to a longer and potentially non-functional protein. This disruption of the normal termination of protein synthesis could affect the structure and function of the protein, potentially causing cellular dysfunction or disease.
What is the monomers of a protein?
The monomer of a protein is called an Amino Acid.You spelt protein wrong, that's why no one has answered it most likely. Well the monomer of a protein is an amino acid.
What is a effect on an error during transcription?
A possible effect on an error during transcription is that a nonfunctioning protein will be produced. The protein would be made of the wrong amino acids chain will be produced (and wrong shape). The wrong protein will be produced. the wrong amino acid chain will be produced

Is Protein have amino acid?
Yes, protein is polymer of amino acids.
Amino acid have protein?
Yes, protein is polymer of amino acids.
WHich of these is the smallest.?
Dipeptide,amino acid,polypeptide,protein Amino Acid is the answer
Acid subunit of protein polymer?
The acid subunit of a protein polymer is an amino acid. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and consist of an amino group, a carboxyl group, and a side chain. The sequence of amino acids in a protein determines its structure and function.
Amino acid is to protien as?
Amino acid is the basic building block of protein.
What is the correct order smallest to largest protein - amino acid - polypeptide?
The correct order from smallest to largest is: amino acid, polypeptide, protein. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, which are made up of one or more polypeptide chains. The polypeptide chains fold and interact to form the final protein structure.
What is a possible effect on an error during transcription?
A possible effect on an error during transcription is that a nonfunctioning protein will be produced. The protein would be made of the wrong amino acids chain will be produced (and wrong shape). The wrong protein will be produced. the wrong amino acid chain will be produced
Why does a protein need an amino acid chain?
A protein is by definition, a chain of amino acids.
What is the smallest structure of a animal?
Dipeptide,amino acid,polypeptide,protein Amino Acid is the answer
