The function of a protein is determined by its structure
structure function

These two proteins both fix the same DNA defect.

Protein Evolution: 1) Proteins with similar functions tend to have similar 3D structures.
2) Proteins with similar 3D structures DO NOT ALWAYS have exactly the same amino acid sequence. The folding is important for function.

Amino Acids Identify the amino group, the acid group, and
the side chains. The side chains are also called “R groups” (R = residues)
Acid RED Base BLUE
