Can pH cause a protein to loss it shape?
It depends on what ph Levoe you are exposing it to. For example, if you you take a protein that is usually in an alkaline (basic) solution and put it in an acidic solution, yes it will lose its shape.
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 can cause an enzyme to lose its confirmation?
When a protein is denatured, this can cause an enzyme to lose its confirmation.
How can a protein lose its tertiary structure?
affected by temperature or pH cause the protein denature .
Does boiling an egg cause it to lose protein?
Boiling an egg doesn't cause loss of protein, it does denature the protein and changes its form (changes from clear and runny to hard and white).
What happen to proteins when they are exposed to very high temperature?
They begin to "denature" or decompose to a certain extent. This breaking down of the protein structure cause it to lose shape. It also restricts it from functioning properly and often interferes with other protein processes.
Will you lose your hair if you eat once a day?
Yes, lack of protein in your diet can cause hair loss. Protein is essential for hair production. Hair is the result of dead protein cells.
What is the effect of temperature on protein shape and give an example?
In most cases, extremes of temperature denature (alter the 3D structure of) proteins. In biological systems that denaturing temperature may be fairly mild. Another term for protein denaturing is coagulation which is what happens to the proteins of a boiled egg.
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.
Hydrogen bonding among individual amino acids in a chain cause what effect on the protein's shape?
It coils and folds.
Why is it important that a protein keep in shape?
because the shape of a protein allows it to perform its particular job
Why is it important protein keeps it shape?
The shape of a protein allows it to perform its particular job.
