How does low pH affect secondary and tertiary protein structures?
Wiki User
∙ 13y ago
A pH that is too acidic or basic for the protein will denature it - the bonds that connect the amino acids to each other for "folding" will break and the tertiary structure is no longer the correct structure for that protein.

How does high temperature affect tertiary structure of a protein?
High temperature denatures most proteins. This means that the 3D structure (tertiary and quaternary structure) changes in a way that the molecule loses its biological function. Denaturation by heat is irreversible.
Chemical denaturation of protein?
Denaturation of proteins involves the disruption and possible destruction of both the secondary and tertiary structures. Since denaturation reactions are not strong enough to break the peptide bonds, the primary structure (sequence of amino acids) remains the same after a denaturation process. Denaturation disrupts the normal alpha-helix and beta sheets in a protein and uncoils it into a random shape.Denaturation occurs because the bonding interactions responsible for the secondary structure (hydrogen bonds to amides) and tertiary structure are disrupted. In tertiary structure there are four types of bonding interactions between "side chains" including: hydrogen bonding, salt bridges, disulfide bonds, and non-polar hydrophobic interactions. which may be disrupted. Therefore, a variety of reagents and conditions can cause denaturation. The most common observation in the denaturation process is the precipitation or coagulation of the protein.
How can biomagnification affect tertiary levels?
by killing organisms
How do mutations affect proteins?
. by changing the number of mRNA bases that make up the codons 2. by preventing the ribosome from binding to the mRNA 3. by changing the sequence in amino acids brought to the ribosome 4. by creating codons with no complimentary anti-codons
How does the sequence of DNA affect the function of a protein?
The sequence of nucleotides in DNA molecule is equivalent and is closely related to an amino acid sequence in the protein molecule. If for any reason the sequence of DNA nucleotides changes it will be reflected in amino acid sequence in the protein. Moreover, the correct sequence of amino acid in the protein will form the correct three-dimensional structure, or tertiary structure, that will confer the biological activity to protein. If a wrong amino acid is translated from a mutated gene in the DNA could change the spatial structure of the protein and therefore modify or erase its biological function.

How do jobs affect development?
the jobs people do can be divided into different typesetters are primary, secondary and tertiary. Primary jobs : These are that take things out of the ground or sea. For example farming or fishing. Secondary jobs: These are jobs in factories turning things into finish products for example, a cars factory. Tertiary jobs:These are jobs that provide help to people, for example a Doctor,Police and shop worker.

How does solar energy affect future career goals?
Solar energy will definitely have effects on the future, it will affect the manufacturing field ( most secondary industries) and tertiary industries in minor ways. Gasoline will of less demand, and yes, you can get a job as a solar panel maker.
How might placing a peptide into a non-polar solution affect the tertiary structure of the peptide?
Placing a peptide into a non polar solution can affect the tertiary structure. It can affect it by identify the relatively facile rotations.

How can mutation affect protein synthesis in cell?
Mutations can make the protein synthesise incorrectly making diseases or weak parts in your body. Mutations can affect protein synthesis in cells by affecting the protein, messing up the whole DNA sequence and making the organism different from other average organisms.
