Which of the following best predicts how the amino acid deletion will affect the structure of the CFTR protein?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking how the deletion of an amino acid in the CFTR protein impacts its structure. It seeks to predict the effects on various levels of protein structure, such as primary, secondary, and tertiary levels.
Answer
D) It will affect the primary, secondary, and tertiary structures of the CFTR protein.
The final answer is D) It will affect the primary, secondary, and tertiary structures of the CFTR protein.
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is D) It will affect the primary, secondary, and tertiary structures of the CFTR protein.
More Information
The deletion of phenylalanine at position 508 in the CFTR protein causes disruptions in the protein's folding and overall structure, affecting all structural levels.
Tips
A common mistake is to assume deletions affect only the primary structure, but changes can ripple across all structure levels.
