What will be the effect on protein function if each polypeptide adopted only a single, inflexible shape based on its primary structure.
~The protein ability to catalyze would be
impaired. The tertiary structure could not appear, so those proteins
could not perform their function.
~The ability to regulate protein activity would be impaired. The peptide bonds would not be so stable compared
to linkages in other types of macromolecules, so those proteins could not perform their function.
~The ability to regulate protein activity would be impaired. The proteins would be either permanently active or
inactive, depending on how they are folded.
~The proteins would perform their functions normally.

answer: andy garner, a 17-year-old who decided to become a human guinea pig in 1965 and go without sleep for 11 days. by the second day his eyes had already stopped focusing, and he lost the ability to identify objects by touch. by day three he was moody and uncoordinated and by the end he had trouble with short term memory and had even started hallucinating.

and a rare genetic mutation called fatal familial insomnia, where people can’t sleep at all, gets progressively worse over months or years and leads to dementia and death.

a devoted soccer fan died after staying awake 48 hours to watch the world cup, she said. ‘while his untimely death was due to a stroke, studies show chronically sleeping fewer than six hours a night increases stroke risk by 4 1/2 times compared with those getting a consistent seven to eight hours.'
