What disease affects the structure of the cardiovascular system?

Congenital heart anomalies are the primary diseases affect the structure of the cardiovascular system. Aortic dissection is a serious acquired disease affecting the system's structure.


If a mutation occurred during the formation of a protein that substituted an amino acid with a reactive R group for one that had a nonreactive R group how might this affect the reactivity?

A mutation is a change in DNA, so when u change the DNA this affects the sequence of the amino acid in the primary structure. this later changes the folding of the r groups because u don't have the right unique sequence of amino acid that was encoded by the DNA


A mutation that alters a single amino acid within a protein can alter?

the primary, secondary, and tertiary level of a protein structure because once an amino acid is effected by a mutation in a single amino acid it ruins the entire protein on all levels


What would happen if a single nucleotide mistake were made in the replication process?

it cased that a another nucleotide replaces primary nucleotide and happens mutation.


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.


What the primary structure of myoglobin?

The amino-acid secquence of myoglobin is the primary structure.

No, it has a tertiary structure.


What is the primary way that HIV s affects the body?

it affects the immune system.


Is the structure of protein primary?

The primary structure of proteins is simply a peptide (chain of amino acids).


Differentiate the four types of protein structure?

There are four types of protein structure. These include primary structure, secondary structure, tertiary structure, and quaternary structure. Primary structure is the amino acid sequence. Secondary structure is the shape of the molecule. Tertiary structure is the interaction between groups. Quaternary structure is the interactions between protein subunits.


Optimal activity of an enzyme depends upon its Primary structure or Secondary structure or tertiary structure or amino acid sequence or disulphide bridge stability?
