How will amino acid deletion will affect the structure of the CFTR protein?
When the CFTR protein is made using all of the correct amino acids, it forms a stable 3-D shape. It has to be the right shape to transport chloride. When a mutation causes an amino acid to be deleted or an incorrect amino acid to be added, the CFTR protein cannot form its correct 3-D shape and function properly.
How do amino acids affect the tertiary structure of a protein?
Acidic (negatively charged) amino acids create salt bridges, or electrostatic interactions, to further stabilize the tertiary structure. Cysteines may form a disulfide bridge, further stabilizing the protein.
Which of the following best describes how amino acids affect the tertiary structure of a protein quizlet?
Which of the following best describes how amino acids affect the tertiary structure of a protein? The interactions of the different R -groups with other R -groups and with their environment determine the tertiary structure of the protein.
Which of the following best explains the location of the amino acids in the folded protein?
Which of the following best explains the location of the amino acids in the folded protein? (A) Polar R groups on the surface of the protein can form ionic bonds with the charged ends of the water molecules.
