Why The Primary Sequence Of Amino Acids In Any Polypeptide/Protein Is Fundamental To The Correct Functioning Of That Polypeptide/Protein
The primary structure of a protein also sometimes referred to as a polypeptide, is decided by sequences of amino acids. The amino acids are sequenced in a linear polypeptide chain which folds as it is being produced. it is this three - dimensional folded structure that decides the proteins biological activity.
