A denatured protein may re-form to its funtional shape when returned to its normal enviorntment What does that indicate about a protein's confirmation?
a denature protein may re-form to its functional shape when returned to its normal environment. what does that indicate about a protein's conformation? Proteins fold in natural environment (water) in a way that they are stable, but a non-polar solvent provides a very different environment, so the protein has to unfold and adopt a very different shape.
How does the denaturizing of a protein make it unable to do its job?
Denaturing a protein will change the three dimensional shape of the protein. Proteins have very specific shape that allow them to interact with their surrounding. Think about melting (denaturing) a key. It will no longer work in the lock (surroundings)
What do cell wall do for a cell?
maintain the cell shape and prevent the cell from burst when the surrounding environment is hypotonic
How does acid rain effect protein shape?
The pH of the environment will change (it'll become more acidic) So the protein won't be able to interact the same therefore the shape will be changed
What does the shape of a protein resembles?
Proteins are "folded" molecules there is not one shape, each protein is different. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A protein has a primary structure which folds into a secondary structure (alpha helix or B-sheet) and then has a tertiary structure (its 3D fold). Many proteins can complex together to create a quaternary structure. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Depending on the type of protein and the environment that the protein is in determines its "shape". The hydrophobic effect plays a huge role in this. Membrane proteins are in a hydrophobic environment, and cytosolic proteins are in a hydrophilic environment. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you are referring to an amino acid which is a polypeptide monomer, then amino acids have a tetrahedral shape around the alpha carbon. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- also known as a messy group of coat hangers
Analogies for a cell wall?
a layer encasing the cell, both providing a sheild from the surrounding the environment and supporting cell shape.
When do the size shape density and conformation of lipoproteins change?
This occurs when lipoproteins exchange their lipid and protein components with the environment.
Is the shape of the human nose affected by genetics?
Most physical features are a result of the interaction between genes and the environment, i.e., phenotype is a product of both genetics and the environment.
The changes due to protein Denaturation?
High temperatures that go past the optimum temperatures usually leads to the denaturation of the protein. Denaturation of the proteins is usually as a result of the destruction of the tertiary and primary structures.
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.
How does DNA determine a protein's shape?
DNA determines a protein's shape by determining the sequence of the amino acids in a protein.
