Structure of Macromolecules

The structure of macromolecules affects their function in many important ways. Most macrmolecules interact with other macromolecules to acquire their function. Each macromolecule must find another macromolecule with the same exact fit in order for an interaction to occur. Therefore if their structures are not the same, the macromolecule will lose their function. For example, in order for proteins to serve as catalysts it has to have a precise tertiary structure or else the function will not occur. Another example are nucleic acids : DNA and RNA. In Quaternary structure, high level organization of DNA in chromatin and its interactions between separates RNA units into ribosome. Without having proper structure formation of nucleic acids, the DNA wouldn't have been able to help RNA units convert into ribosome. This is why the structure of macromolecules affects their function resulting in no production of materials necessary for the body if structure is not accurate.
