Name and describe the four different levels of protein structure; including their causes; discuss the importance of shape (structure) for proper function; name functions of proteins

Protein Structure and Folding:a. Explain how changes in a protein’s amino acid sequence can change the way it behaves in water.b. Explain how changes in a protein’s amino acid sequence can change the way it interacts with othermolecules.c. Explain how changes in a protein’s amino acid sequence can change the way it forms secondary andtertiary structures when placed in water.

A mutation leads to a change in amino acid from valine, an amino acid with a nonpolar side chain, to aspartic acid, an amino acid with a polar, negatively-charged side chain. Do you think that the following levels of protein structure change? If so, how and why? If not, why not? Please frame your answer in terms of chemical bonds and interactions. (primary structure, secondary structure, tertiary structure, quartenary structure)

Describe how a protein’s structure determines its function. What determines a protein’s structure?

Describe the function of sugars in protein structures and functions.
