What is likely to happen to a protein molecule that is exposed to intense heat or radiation?
A protein may become denatured when exposed to intense heat or radiation. When a protein becomes denatured, its basic structure is damaged enough that it is no longer able to function.
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 happened to a protein that has become denatured?
A protein is denatured because of high temperatures or changes in pH. When it is denatured, it means that the protein has lost its original shape and therefore, it cannot function properly anymore.
What does it mean when the enzyme becomes denatured?
An enzyme is a folded protein. When this folded protein becomes denatured, it essentially stops working. It can not function due to high temperatures or wrong pH.
How are proteins denatured in an organic solvent?
Enzymes and proteins. Denaturation unravels them, ruining their structure and therefore their function.
What is protein denatured by?
A denatured protein has had its structure dismantled or altered, rendering it disfunctional or nonfunctional, and therefore useless.
When a protein is denatured what will happen to the turnover number?
The turnover number refers to the enzyme activity during a biochemical process. When a protein is denatured it can no longer function and so the turnover number goes down.
If a protein had its hydrogen bonds broken would it function properly?
No it would not function properly. If a protein has it's hydrogen bonds broken it becomes denatured.
Which of the following observations is the strongest argument in favor of the hypothesis that protein structure and function are correlated?
denatured proteins do not function normally
A protein can become denatured when?
A protein can become denatured when a number of things happen. Some of them are the loss of solubility by the protein as well as cooking proteins will cause them to be denatured among others.
A denatured protein is one that?
Is one that lose thier function due to change in thier molecular structure due to heat
A denatured protein or DNA molecules has lost what?
It has lost its active 3D structure and therefore it is not functional anymore.
