Altering the primary amino acid sequence of a globular protein changes its folding and bonding, resulting in a different three-dimensional structure.
A change in the primary structure (amino acid sequence) of a globular protein alters the positions of bonds, leading to a different folding pattern and thus a different three-dimensional structure.
Front | Explain how a change in the primary structure of a globular protein may result in a different three-dimensional structure (3) |

Back | sequence of amino acids changes; tertiary structure changes/folds in a different way; bonds form in different places; |
