What does it mean when a protein ''deatured'' and how does this affect the protein's function?
Proteins tend to have 3 or 4 structural levels, every protein has specific level, in which it can function. Denaturation brings protein back to the 1st structural level, so it can no longer function. For example, enzymes have the 4th structural level, then they can function. And when they are denaturated, they are brought back to the 1st level and cannot function.
Collagen is an example of which type of protein?
structural protein
Why does a protein not function after it has denatured?
Denaturation of a protein means loss of the protein's function due to structural change in the protein caused by some chemical or physical factor such as high temperature or unfavorable ph. The bonds that hold the structure together get affected which leads to the loss of structure and function
What is the smallest functional and structural unit of protein?
The smallest structural unit of a protein is the amino acid. The smallest functional unit of a protein is a little ambiguous, because some might consider the amino acid to be functional (after all, some can function as neurotransmitters). Or, some might consider the peptide (di, tri, etc) to be a functional unit. One could argue what exactly is the smallest functional unit of a protein.
What does the structural combination of DNA and protein form?
Chromatin
Altering which what levels of structural organization could change the function of a protein?
a. primary b. secondary c. tertiary d. quaternary Its e. All of the above, any change to any of the structural levels of organization can change the fuction of the protein
