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.


When a signal molecule binds to a receptor protein the receptor protein may change the?

shape.


What word defines tansport protein that changes shape when a particle binds with it?

Carrier proteins


Why is protein hemoglobin different from protein insulin?

They are two different proteins, like the difference between a train and a robot. The difference between one protein and the other is the amino acid sequence that comprises that protein and the molecular bonding that determines its shape. Shape determines function in a protein. If it loses its shape it can't do its job. The shape of insulin and hemoglobin is different so insulin binds with glucose and hemoglobin binds with oxygen.


What changes occur to a carrier protein once it binds to its target molecules?

the carrier protein changes shape to release the molecule inside of a cell


What happens if a chemical substance binds into an enzyme and alters its shape?

the rate of the reaction can be increased or decreased


Why is it important that each receptor protein binds to only one signal molecule?

because every receptor has specific shape on it, which binds with specific molecule.


Is a glycoprotein a type of peripheral protein that can be used as a receptor or in enzymatic functions?

it binds with several signaling molecules as it has shape that is complementary to signaling molecules.


What happens if a protein does not get into the correct shape?

A protein cannot perform its biological function, if it is not in the correct shape. Sometimes an incorrectly folded protein will become a very dangerous toxin called a prion.


How does ATP enable transport proteins to move ions across a cell membrane?

Once translated, proteins are dispersed throughout the cellular environment. This section covers the transport of a protein into a specific organelle--the mitochondria.


What is the next step in muscle contraction after the actin changes shape?

What process changes the shape of transport proteins when a particle binds with it?

Carrier Proteins. Some don't require ATP (Facillitated transport) and some do require ATP (Active transport) to change shape.
