When extreme temperature changes a protein's shape so much that it can no longer perform its usual function?
denaturation
Describe How is the proteins structure is determined by the arrangement of amino acids?
Sometimes the structure and function of a protein can be determined by the amino acids that compose it. Advanced software can hypothesize how a protein will fold according to its amino acid sequence and its function can often be inferred from that.
Why does a denature protein no longer function normally?
the function of each protein is a consequence of its specific shape, which is lost when a protein becomes denatured.The shape of a protein determines its specific function within a cell. Denaturing a protein will alter its shape, thus it will no longer function.
Describe how can viruses and prions can alter cell function?
Viruses and prions have the ability to reproduce. After entering a cell, they alter something about it's protein formation
What is the characteristic of protein?
analysing the function of a particular protein is protein characterization.

What do you call the process by which acid uncoils a protein molecule?
This process is called denaturation. It can be caused by acids, bases, organic solvents, or heat. When denaturation occurs, it changes the shape of the protein. Since form follows function, a protein's function is disabled if it no longer has the form required to carry out its tasks.
What is the function Heat shock protein?
function Heat shock protein
What happened to a protein that has become denatured?
A protein is denatured because of high temperatures or changes in pH. When it is denatured, it means that the protein has lost its original shape and therefore, it cannot function properly anymore.
Why does a denature protein no longer function normally?
the function of each protein is a consequence of its specific shape, which is lost when a protein becomes denatured.The shape of a protein determines its specific function within a cell. Denaturing a protein will alter its shape, thus it will no longer function.
Is a denatured protein able to function?
The function of each protein is a consequence of its specific shape, which is lost when a protein denatures.
What deficiency disease will you suffer if you do not get protein?
Protein deficiency.
Can changing just one nucleotide in a gene change the shape of a protein?
If shape of a protein is changed its function is altered. This might change or stop a particular biochemical pathway in which that enzyme was critical. Specific 3D shape of each protein is very essential for its function. Change in shape of proteins is caused by a mutation in the DNA.
What does recessive tell us about gene's expression?
Recessive doesn't really describe the expression of a gene. When a gene is "expressed" a protein is made. Recessive describes what form of the gene is expressed or in other words, which allele. A recessive protein may look different and function differently than a dominant protein. This is oversimplified though because there are many different interactions and mechanisms that determine protein function.
