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 acid sequence: however, the proteins fail to do their job. Is any of the levels of protein structure unaffected? Yes, the primary structure is correct Yes, the tertiary structure is correct Yes, the quaternary structure is correct Yes, the secondary structure is the only corect one . No, none of the levels is correct Previous
