If a formation in the dna of an organism results in the replacement of an amino acid containing a polar r group with another amino acid containing a nonpolar r group how might the structure of the protein be affected? address the impact on all levels of the protein structure in your answer

Respuesta :

The structure of the protein will be affected if the protein is hydrophillic in nature while the R group is hydrophobic in nature.
The tertiary structure of a protein is determined by the interaction and bond of the R group within a protein. Thus, if a mutation occur at the R group side chain the tertiary structure of the protein will be affected.
