Which component of an amino acid is responsible for its unique properties?

A mutation changes the sequence of amino acids in a protein. Which level of protein structure is directly affected?

What is an enzyme-substrate complex?

Design a protein with a specific function by describing its primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structures.

What is the main difference between a polypeptide and a protein?

A single amino acid substitution in a protein leads to a disease. What does this suggest about the role of primary structure?

A protein's primary structure is altered due to a genetic mutation. Predict the potential impact on its function.
