This process is called denaturation. It can be caused by acids, bases, organic solvents, or heat. When denaturation occurs, it changes the shape of the protein. Since form follows function, a protein's function is disabled if it no longer has the form required to carry out its tasks.

What plays a key role in manufacture of proteins?

The main participants in protein manufacturing are mRNA molecule (carrier of the "message" to be translated), the ribosomes (where translation process takes place), tRNA molecule (carrier of new amino acid molecules to be attached to the growing protein chain), and multiple enzymes.


Molecule that carries amino acids to the ribosomes for incorporation into a protein?

The molecule that carries amino acids to the ribosome is transfer ribonucleic acid, or tRNA. Each tRNA molecule is specific to the amino acid it carries.


Does tRNA have proteins?

tRNA is a vital molecule that serves as an adapter in protein synthesis. tRNA does have amino acid acceptor arm where an amino acid is presented. But they do not have any protein on them.
