What does the tertiary structure of a protein tell you about the protein?
It tells us about the three dimensional structure of the protein in its folded configuration.
Does amino acids affect protein functions?
The sequence of amino acids affects protein function. The three-dimensional structure of a protein determines its function. The three-dimensional structure of a protein is determined by the sequence of its amino acids.
Why is protein conformation important?
A protein's shape is very important for its function. For example, enzymes react with substrates at an active site. This is very specific and if the shape changes, it will not react at efficiently (or at all).
What is its primary function of the structure?
The structure of protein sets the foundation for its interaction with other molecules in the body and, therefore, determines its function. The primary structure of a protein refers to the sequence of amino acids in the polypeptide chain. The primary structure of a protein drives the folding and intramolecular bonding of the linear amino acid chain, which ultimately determines the protein's unique three-dimensional shape. A specific sequence of nucleotides in DNA is transcribed into mRNA, which is read by the ribosome in a process called translation. Alpha helices and beta sheets, these stable folding patterns make up the secondary structure of a protein. Most proteins contain multiple helices and sheets. The simple sequencing of the protein is known as its primary structure. Even with a limited number of amino acid monomers (there are only 20 amino acids commonly seen in the human body) they can be arranged in a vast number of ways to alter the three-dimensional structure and function of the protein.
What causes disruption in three dimensional structure of a protein?
for example pH or temperature different than optimal, or proteases.
When a protein loses its three-dimensional structure and becomes nonfunctional it is considered to be what?
When a protein loses its three-dimensional structure it's considered denatured.
What does the tertiary structure of a protein tell you about the protein?
It tells us about the three dimensional structure of the protein in its folded configuration.
What is the 3 dimensional shape of a protein?
Tertiary Structure.....:)
Does amino acids affect protein functions?
The sequence of amino acids affects protein function. The three-dimensional structure of a protein determines its function. The three-dimensional structure of a protein is determined by the sequence of its amino acids.
After translation what does a protein's function depends upon?
its final three dimensional structure
What is the level of protein organization that provides it with a three dimensional shape?
Tertiary Structure.
What causes the secondary structure of protein to differ in length from the primary?
The primary structure is a one or two dimensional structure, whereas the secondary structure is a three dimensional structure in which different parts of the protein molecule bend and twist due to the formation of hydrogen bonds between atoms. This makes the secondary structure shorter than the primary structure.
what is a biomolecular structure?
Biomolecular structure is the intricate folded, three-dimensional shape that is formed by a molecule of protein, DNA, or RNA, and that is important to its function.
What is crystallography protein?
Crystallography protein refers to those protein is made into crystals which is easy to determine the three-dimensional structure and annlysis its properties.
Why is acid sequence of a protein of the ultumate importance?
The amino acid sequence determines the three-dimensional structure of a protein, which determines the function of the protein. If the amino acid sequence is incorrect, due to a genetic defect, the three-dimensional structure of the protein may be so disrupted as to not function properly, or not function at all.
How is tertiary protein structure dependent on primary protein structure?
The relationship between the primary and tertiary structure of a protein is the both have a sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain.orThe sequence of amino acids in a primary structure determines its three-dimensional shape ( secondary and tertiary structure)
What uses the amino acid sequences of polypeptides to predict a protein's three-dimensional structure?
Bioinformatics
