What determine the shape and function of a protein?
Conformation is what determines a protein's unique set of functional and otherwise shapes.
What is a denatured protein?
A protein that has lost its native nature conformation by exposure to a destabilizing agent such as heat or detergent.
What are the different levels of protein folding?
Tertiary - the protein's natural three- dimensional conformation - and Quaternary - how separately related tertiary forms coalesce.
Explain what determines protein confirmation and why it is important?
Environment and bonding. The structure determines its function.

Why are proteins able to so many different type of jobs?
each protein will have unique structure & conformation. thus each protein is able to do various jobs
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 a ligand a hormone?
yes a ligand is anything that can change the conformation of a receptor protein. hormones bind to proteins in the same way ligands do

How does as large particle leave a cell using active transport?
It requires energy, and a carrier protein. The large particle binds to the carrier protein on the inside of the cell. The protein then changes conformation, thus moving the particle to the outside, where it is dropped off by another conformational change in the protein.
What is native gel electrophoresis?
Native Gel or the Native PAGE is the electrophoretic system in which the the proteins are run in their native conformation, that is that they are not denatured. This used when the function of the protein is important, especially enzymes, as the function of a protein is related to its native structure.
Is it true that egg white is an incomplete protein because the methionine amino acid is missing?
No it isn't an incomplete protein. Egg whites are just albumin protein that has been denatured by the heat of cooking. They are still whole proteins, they are just in a different conformation than their original form.
