Bio Chemistry Interview Question:

What is the primary structure of a protein? What is the importance of the primary structure?

Submitted by: Administrator

The primary protein structure is the linear sequence of amino acids that form the molecule.

The primary structure is the basis of the protein identity. Modification of only one amino acid of the primary structure creates a different protein. This different protein can be inactive or even can have other biological function.
