Tritiory proteins are globular proteins. Every enzyme is a globular proteins.


What is it called when there is a change in the three-dimensional shape of a protein?

It is called "Denaturing" of proteins.


What is the role or proteins in a chromosome?

Chromatin is tightly coiled and wrapped around proteins called histones to form structures called chromosomes


What is the effect of high heat and pH on proteins?

High heat can denature proteins by disrupting the non-covalent bonds that maintain their structure, leading to loss of function. High pH can also denature proteins by altering the charge distribution within the protein, affecting its interactions and structure. Both high heat and pH can affect the shape and function of proteins, ultimately leading to their inactivation.


Can proteins be denatured or coagulated by heat or acidity?

Yes, proteins can be denatured (change in structure) by heat or acidity, leading to loss of their functional properties. Denaturation disrupts the bonds holding the protein's shape, altering its structure. Coagulation refers to the aggregation of denatured proteins, forming clumps, which can happen under extreme heat or acidity conditions.


What is irreversible changes in the shape of proteins called?

Irreversible changes in the shape of proteins are called denaturation. This process disrupts the protein's structure, causing it to lose its functional form and activity. Common causes of denaturation include high temperatures, extreme pH levels, and exposure to certain chemicals.

What is the proses of denaturing?

Heat and some chemicals can cause functional molecules, such as proteins to change shape and thus loose their function. Such molecules that have had their shape changed are called denatured.


Why does base added to fresh pineapple solidify?

Fresh pineapple contains an enzyme called bromelain, which breaks down proteins. When a base is added to fresh pineapple, it can cause the proteins to denature and coagulate, leading to solidification. This reaction is similar to how cooking or heat affects proteins, altering their structure and resulting in a firmer texture.


Why do the passenger molecules need to be helped by the carrier molecules?

Carrier proteins aid in facilitated diffusion by binding a particular substance, then altering their shape to bring that substance into or out of the cell. Those molecules can not go through the lipid layer on their own as they can not dissolve in lipids. (This is sometimes called lipophobia). This relationship is somewhat like an enzyme and substrate combination.
