Question
F2
Proteins fold into complex three-dimensional shapes. The function is dependent
upon the structure of the protein and its cellular location. The final shape of the
protein is based on the identity of the amino acid side chains of the protein.
Some proteins form ion channels that allow that passage of ions through the cell
membrane.
