Is protein synthesis the same as ribosomes?

No, they are not the same thing. Ribosomes make proteins (protein synthesis).


What must be done to a polypeptide chain to make it a functioning protein?

A protein becomes functional only when it folds itself into a three dimensional form or tertiary structure. More information - All amino acids have the same basic structure - an amino group, a carboxyl group and a hydrogen atom but they differ due to the presence of the side chain. The sequence of amino acids in a protein determines it's primary structure


How does polypeptide differ than an equal protein?

Both peptides and proteins are made up of strings of the body's basic building blocks – amino acids – and held together by peptide bonds. In basic terms, the difference is that peptides are made up of smaller chains of amino acids than proteins. ... As a general rule, a peptide contains two or more amino acids.


Why does substitution have little effect on polypeptide chains?

Substitution has little effect on polypeptide chains because the genetic code is degenerate, meaning that more than one codon can code for the same amino acid. This redundancy allows for some changes in the DNA sequence to result in the same amino acid being incorporated into the polypeptide chain, thus maintaining the overall structure and function of the protein.


Cell membrane and protein coat same thing?

No, the cell membrane and protein coat are not the same thing. The cell membrane is a phospholipid bilayer that surrounds the cell, providing structure and regulating what goes in and out. A protein coat, on the other hand, is a protective layer made of proteins that surrounds some viruses.


What is the difference between interchain and intrachain hydrogen bonds in the secondary structure of proteins?

Interchain hydrogen bonds form between different protein chains, such as in a multimeric protein complex. Intrachain hydrogen bonds form within the same protein chain, stabilizing the secondary structure, such as alpha helices or beta sheets. Both types of hydrogen bonds contribute to the overall stability and structure of proteins.


What is the ribosomes for in the animal cell?

The same thing it is for in all cells. The ribosomes are the site of protein synthesis.


Polymer of a protien?

Normally you can just refer to the polymers just as proteins, but if you want to be specific, you can say polypeptide, thereby excluding amino acids, dipeptides, and oligopeptides. The monomers of proteins are amino acids.


What is the difference between a band disbanding and breaking up?

Disbanding and breaking up is the same thing. Disband: is to stop functioning or cohering as a unit.


Are urease and urea the same thing?

No, urease and urea are not the same thing. Urease is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of urea into ammonia and carbon dioxide, while urea is a waste product produced in the liver as a result of protein metabolism.


What is viral protein?

Some viruses have a capsid with proteins that act as "docking stations" so that they can attach to host cells. Others without capsids also have a different type of protein that does the same thing.


Is glucose and glucosamine the same thing?

No. glucose is basically sugar, while glucosamine is a protein that's supposed to be good for worn joints.
