Proteins are the most diverse group of macromolecules because of the

Answer 1

Protein functions are so diverse because of the many unique three-dimensional structures protein polymers form. Despite such variety, proteins also share several specific structural characteristics in their monomers, the amino acids

Answer 2

In this question it is required to answer why proteins are the most diverse group of macromolecules.

Explanation:

• Proteins are required for every process that takes place in a cell and also exhibit a variety of functions.
• Proteins are constructed from a set of 20 amino acids with each amino acid linked covalently to each other through a peptide bond.
• Moreover each amino acid have a distinctive side chain, with each side chain having distinctive chemical properties.
• The most important thing that makes proteins the most diverse group of macromolecules is the number of amino acids.
• The remarkable thing is that the same 20 amino acids can be joined in many different combinations and sequences to yield a wide variety of proteins.
• Therefore by combining the 20 amino acids in different manners gives rise to a wide variety of proteins and to the diversity of the proteins .
