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.

∙ 13y agoHigh temperatures can cause proteins to denature. Protein denaturation is when the proteins lose their shapes (more specifically, their secondary and tertiary structures). Because shape follows function and proteins gain function at their tertiary structure, this also means that the proteins lose their function.

∙ 11y agoA protein's function depends on its shape. High temperatures stress the bonds that make the protein take the shape that it has potentially breaking them and causing them to new configurations thereby changing the shape of the molecule. If the protein assumes a different shape it can no longer function the way it originally did and is said to be denatured.

Hydrogen bonding among individual amino acids in a chain cause what effect on the protein's shape?
It coils and folds.
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 is the possible effects of an error during transcription?
A possible effect on an error during transcription is that a nonfunctioning protein will be produced. The protein would be made of the wrong amino acids (and wrong shape).
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.
What protein changes shape when ca2 plus binds to it?
The protein that changes shape when calcium ion (Ca2+) binds to it, is the troponin. It is a regulatory protein that is a component of the thin filament.
How a point mutation can effect the overall protein shape and function using hemoglobin as an example?
mk
What are 4 factors that can destroy the shape of a protein?
temperature,ph,
What can effect the shape of an enzyme molecule?
Temperature
What is Shape memory effect?
the change of shape of a metal at low temperature by loading and regaining of original shape by heating it,is known as shape memory effect
What the effect of temperature on protein shape?
Changes in temprature effects the strength of hydrogen bond present in Proteins which alter their tertiary and quarternary structures as temp increases h-bonds get decrease in strength
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 4 factors can change the protein shape?
pH, temperature, presence of inhibiting proteins
When extreme temperature changes a protein's shape so much that it can no longer perform its usual function?
denaturation
Why does a protein not function after it has denatured?
Denaturation of a protein means loss of the protein's function due to structural change in the protein caused by some chemical or physical factor such as high temperature or unfavorable ph. The bonds that hold the structure together get affected which leads to the loss of structure and function
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.
Hydrogen bonding among individual amino acids in a chain cause what effect on the protein's shape?
It coils and folds.
What is a effect on an error during transcription?
A possible effect on an error during transcription is that a nonfunctioning protein will be produced. The protein would be made of the wrong amino acids chain will be produced (and wrong shape). The wrong protein will be produced. the wrong amino acid chain will be produced
