Also to add, for proteins “structure dictates function”
Without the correct structure, which arises due to the things listed above (and hydrophobic/philic interactions I may add) proteins cannot perform their intended function which can lead to various consequences.
Some proteins even work almost like tiny machines in the cell and can perform work using ATP
SOME proteins are used as structural elements of the cell, but overall “structure” of proteins is important for their functional roles
