When a nitrogenous base is inserted or delete how does that affect the amino acid sequence?
The amino acid sequence is shifted, and this kind of mutation is called a frame shift mutation. All of the amino acid sequence after the mutation will be changed, which will cause a change in shape of the protein, which will then probably result in a nonfunctional protein, since the shape of a protein determines its function.
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.
Changing one amino acid with a protein could change what about the protein?
It will depend on how different the amino acid is to the one it replaced. If the structure and/or charge is quite different, a change of one amino acid can change the entire 3D structure of the protein. This will affect the proteins function.
How does DNA determine a protein's shape?
DNA determines a protein's shape by determining the sequence of the amino acids in a protein.
Do denatured proteins have their shape changed?
Denatured proteins do not have any particular shape. A denatured protein is one that has broken amino acid interactions in the secondary and tertiary structures.
Why does the order of amino acid acids affect the structure of a protein?
The order of amino acids can affect the protein's shape.
How does acids denature proteins?
The Acid disrupts the bonds between the amino acids that make up the tertiary structure of the protein. The disruption causes the protein to denature which causes a change in shape of the protein. We have to realize that sometimes this change in shape is good because the struction deterimines the function.
How can one amino acid have a great effect?
If you mean how does changing one amino acid have a great effect, that single change may alter the shape of the protein in a critical area, which can make the protein function poorly or not at all.
What is a protein made of?
A protein molecule is a long chain of amino acids. There are 22 different amino acids and their chemical properties determine the shape of the protein which determines the function of the protein.
PH effect on enzymes?
A change in pH can alter the ionization of the R groups of the amino acids. When the charges on the amino acids change, hydrogen bonding within the protein molecule changes and the molecule changes shape. The new shape therefore may not be effective
What two factors determine the shape or a protein?
Protein shape is determined by the type and sequence of the amino acids that make it up. The bonds between the amino acids caused the protein chain to bend in specific ways.
What is the shape of a protein determined by?
the type and sequence of its amino acids
