Which of the following information is responsible to specify the three-dimensional shape of a protein?

(a) The protein’s peptide bond

(b) The protein’s amino acid sequence

(c) The protein’s interaction with other polypeptides

(d) The protein’s interaction with molecular chaperons

This question was addressed to me by my school teacher while I was bunking the class.

My doubt is from Peptides and Proteins topic in chapter Amino Acids, Peptides and Proteins of Biochemistry

Answer 1

Right option is (b) The protein’s amino acid sequence

For explanation: The amino acid sequence of a protein determines its three-dimensional shape.
