Question

The most important feature of a protein is its
A)secondary structure.
B)side group.
C)shape.
D)electric charge.

Accepted Answer

The shape of a protein determines its function, as a protein's shape determines its ability to interact with other molecules in the body. Changes in the protein's shape can also lead to functional changes or even diseases. While secondary structure and side groups are important for specific protein functions, they are not as crucial as the overall shape of the protein. Electric charge is also important for some protein functions, but it is not a defining characteristic of all proteins.
