Which of the following properties of a protein is least likely to be affected by changes in pH? Tertiary structure Primary structure Secondary structure Net charge

Respuesta :

pristina

Answer:

Primary structure is the correct answer.

Explanation:

  • The primary structure is the simple level of protein structure.
  • Primary structure is a basic amino acids sequences in a protein.
  • In the primary structure, amino acids are attached together by a covalent bond.
  • Primary structure is when the amino acids are joined together with peptide bonds to produce polypeptide chains
  • Changes in pH are least likely to change the amino acid sequence or disrupt peptide bonds.

Explanation:

The primary structure of the protein is least likely to be affected by the changes in pH.  

• The primary structure of the protein is illustrated primarily by its sequence of amino acid, and is formed by peptide bonds between the amino acids residues.  

• The sequence of the amino acids that makes up the protein is termed as its primary structure.  

• When the protein is transferred to an acidic solution, the protein does get unfold, however, it does not get dissociate into its individual amino acids.  

• Therefore, the protein even after unfolding stays as a single, long chain, however its amino acid sequence remains intact.  

Thus, it can be stated that the primary structure of the protein gets least affected with the change in pH.
