Step-by-Step Analysis
This question asks which levels of protein structure could be affected by a nucleotide substitution that changes an amino acid in a polypeptide.
Option 1: quaternary structure
Even though quaternary structure depends on how multiple polypeptide subunits interact, a change in the amino acid sequence of a subunit can alter its surface properties or interface compatibil......Login to view full explanationLog in for full answers
