What is a bipartite protein?
It's a protein with two distinct domains. Each domain might have different biochemical properties (Hydrophobic/hydrophilic) or functional role (2 enzymatic different activities or one domain required for the subcellular localization, the other one a signal transduction....)
What subcellular structure is involved in translation?
In translation (RNA to Protein) a ribosome attaches to an mRNA strand and uses the mRNA to create a protein. There are other types of RNA and protein that can modify the mRNA strand but ribosomes are the main structure involved in translation.
Is a gene a distinct region of a long protein molecule?
No. It is a distinct region of a DNA molecule.
What has the author Malcolm Peter Leckie written?
Malcolm Peter Leckie has written: 'In situ imaging and protein analysis of host subcellular structures during the infection of pea by Erysiphe pisi'
Is a protein a nucleic acid?
No, they are two distinct types of macromolecules.

What is used to test for presence of protein?
Biuret solution
What is the medical term meaning presence of protein in the urine?
albuminuria
Explain why protein is not normally present in the urine of a healthy person but may be present in the urine of a person with glomerulosclerosis?
Protein is filtered from the blood by the glomeruli in the kidneys, but in a healthy person, most of the filtered protein gets reabsorbed in the renal tubules. However, in glomerulosclerosis, the structure and function of the glomeruli are impaired, leading to increased permeability and leakage of protein into the urine. This results in proteinuria, the presence of protein in the urine.
Why is gelatin liquefied in the presence of gelatinase?
Gelatinase is a proteolytic enzyme that breaks down the protein gelatin. Since the active ingredient of gelatin is the protein gelatin, the gel cannot solidify in the presence of gelatinase.
The presence of a repressor protein prevents the action of what enzyme?
RNA polymerase.
What is indication of violet color in biuret test of enzymes?
The presence of protein.
