fold improperly
What is a change in the normal confirmation of a protein that often results in loss of protein function called?
That protein is called denatured.
What is it called when there is a change in the three-dimensional shape of a protein?
It is called "Denaturing" of proteins.
When when a mutation results in no significant change in the production of a of a functional protein?
When a mutation does not change the result of a normal production of a protein is called harmless. This is because it does no harm to the individual.
What is a color change on metal that is caused by a chemical change called?
rust
Suppose part of an amino acid sequence of a protein changed from tyrosine proline glycine alanine to tyrosine histidine glycine alanine this change was most likely caused by a point mutation called?
substitution
The removal of a phosphate group from a protein to cause the protein to change its confirmation is called phosphorylation?
No, phosphorylation is the addition of a phosphate group.
A drastic conformational change in protein in response to conditions such as extreme heat pH will lead to loss of a protein function this drastic change in shape is called?
denaturation
Milk curdles when lemon juice is added to it. The change that occurs in the protein is called?
It is called denaturation
How can a point mutation alter the final structure of a protein?
In a point mutation, one nitrogen base is substituted for the correct base. Since most amino acids can be coded for by more than one codon, there may be no consequence to this mutation. However, sometimes a point mutation results in an incorrect amino acid being added to the amino acid sequence of the protein. This can cause a change in the shape and therefore function of the protein, which can be a harmful mutation. Two genetic disorders caused by a point mutation are cystic fibrosis and sickle cell anemia.
A change in DNA sequence caused by a mistake in DNA replication or exposure to radiation or chemicals?
A change in DNA sequence caused by a mistake is called a mutation.
When egg whites are whipped they stiffen into a meringue The change that occurs in the protein is called?
Denaturation
