Two proteins have the same number and type of amino acids but different tertiary structures. Explain why.
The order of the amino acids (primary structure) in the two proteins may be different. This can result in ionic, hydrogen and disulphide bonds to form in different locations in each protein. Such differences may cause variations in the three dimensional structures of the proteins (tertiary structure).
