Define denaturation and explain how proteins may be denatured?
2 ways they can denature:- When they are exposed to temperatures higher than their optimum operating temp- When the pH is too high or too low.Denaturation_of_proteins_may_result_in_whatDenaturation is the loss of structure in proteins, destroying their binding sites and makingWhat_may_cause_a_protein_to_be_denatured
Agent that induces change in chromosome?
mutagen: ionizing radiation or chemicals, can also be called a mutagenic agent.
What can happen if there is one wrong amino acid in a protein?
I feel like there are conflicting answers to this, probably because both play a role...tertiary structure is the actual 3-D structure, which dictates how the protein interacts on a molecular level, but primary structure ultimately determines tertiary...a recent practice question said primary structure, but I've seen tertiary as the answer before...Does anyone have a clear answer/reasoning for that answer?? interesting question. what happens if you change an important catalytic residue but maintain tertiary structure? no function. what if you denature something and it loses shape? no function. both are right. a question like this on the MCAT would definitely be more explicit, examples: it is found that a patient has a single amino acid mutation resulting in the change in activity of phosphofructokinase. this mutation most directly affects? -answer: primary structure, its a single amino acid mutation, the rest of the protein is probably the same. urea, a denaturing agent and byproduct of amino acid metabolism is found abnormally in other parts of the body. enzymes in this part of the body are unable to function properly most likely due to a change in: -tertiary structure. overall shape has changed.
