What two factors determine the shape of a protein?
The shape of proteins primarily is determined by the order of amino acids (the building blocks of proteins, all strung together in a single line, can be ten's of thousands long). Interactions between the building blocks causes the proteins to fold and twist on itself (1) and multiple protein molecules can come together to shape bigger molecule complexes (2).
Why is the three dimensional shape of proteins so important?
Proteins are built as chains of amino acids, which then fold into unique three-dimensional shapes. Bonding within protein molecules helps stabilize their structure, and the final folded forms of proteins are well-adapted for their functions.

What is unique about Oklahoma?

How do proteins maintain their shape?
he eat
What kind of shape do proteins have?
Round
If a proteins shape is changed it has been?
If a proteins shape is changed it has likely been denatured. This is often a breakdown and rearrangement of the protein.
What proteins help new proteins fold into their normal shape?
chaperon protiens
Why is it important for proteins to keep its shape?
It has to keep its shape to do its particular job.

Could a protein have what is called a globular shape?
Tritiory proteins are globular proteins. Every enzyme is a globular proteins.
What is a side chain in proteins?
There are no side chains in proteins, but the side chains in amino acids, the building blocks of proteins, determine their unique properties.
