Question

Calculate the percent change in the primary sequence represented by a single-residue substitution for a protein 300 amino acids long. Show your work.

Accepted Answer

Approximately 0.33% change

Answer

Approximately 0.0033% change as changes are scaled by the square of the total residues for tertiary structure considerations

Answer

Exactly 1% change because a single substitution is always treated as one percent regardless of length

Answer

Approximately 3.33% change because percent is calculated per ten residues for proteins of this size
