The order of amino acids in a protein is primarily determined by the sequence of nucleotides in the gene encoding that protein. This sequence is transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA) and then translated into a chain of amino acids by ribosomes, following the genetic code. Mutations or variations in the DNA sequence can lead to changes in the amino acid sequence, impacting the protein's structure and function. Therefore, the genetic information is the most critical factor influencing the order of amino acids in proteins.
