Question
Normally there are channel proteins that allow passage of the ions, but in patients with one kind of Cystic Fibrosis these proteins seem odd. Closer examination shows that these proteins display the correct amino a sequence: however, the proteins fail to do their job. Is any of the levels of protein structure unaffected? O Yes, the primary structure is correct O Yes, the tertiary structure is correct Yes, the quaternary structure is correct O Yes, the secondary structure is the only correct one No, none of the levels is correct s PreviousExplanation / Answer
in cystic fibrosis the channel protein has correct amino acid sequence but incorrect folding. as amino acid sequence are correct it means that primary structure is correct.
