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 the term used for a change in a protein's three dimensional shape or confirmation due to disruption oh hydrogen bonds disulfide bridges or ionic bonds?
The change in a proteins' three dimensional shape or conformation is called denaturation.
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 structural level of a protein most affected by a disruption in hydrogen bonding?
The structural level of a protein is most affected by disruption would be the secondary structure. It is within the secondary structure where the folding and coiling of the protein is stabilized by hydrogen bonds.
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.
The structural level of a protein least affected by a disruption in hydrogen bonding is the?
primary level
What has the author Juswinder Singh written?
Juswinder Singh has written: 'Atlas of protein side-chain interactions' -- subject(s): Conformation, Protein binding, Proteins
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
What causes disruption in three dimensional structure of a protein?
for example pH or temperature different than optimal, or proteases.
