What else can I help you with?
Are enzymes functional proteins?
Yes, enzymes are functional proteins that act as biological catalysts to speed up chemical reactions in living organisms. They play a crucial role in various metabolic processes by lowering the activation energy required for reactions to occur.
What is chief role of the nucleus in a cell?
The nucleus contains the DNA, which has the instructions for the production of functional products (i.e. proteins). Therefore the main role of the nucleus is to control the functions of the cell.
What are the two major types of proteins that build parts of cells?
functional proteins and structural proteins
What is the difference between structural and functional proteins?
Structural Proteins form Structures, like bones and muscle. Functional Proteins are you used to do stuff, so pretty much everything else
What is a funtional protein?
Proteins are nitrogenous compounds being made up of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen. Proteins also contain sulphur. In living systems proteins play an important role in the structural organisation eg., cell membrane, hairs, nails and muscles. Many of the proteins serve as enzymes. They are named as functional proteins.
Functional group of cysteine?
The functional group of cysteine is a thiol group, also known as a sulfhydryl group, which consists of a sulfur atom bonded to a hydrogen atom. This thiol group is important for the formation of disulfide bonds in proteins, which play a role in the structure and function of proteins.
Are enzymes classified as structural proteins or functional proteins?
Enzymes are proteins, each with a uniquely specific Biochemical Function.
A hormone is an example of which functional class of proteins?
A hormone is an example of the globular class of proteins
Examples of globular functional proteins?
Enzymes
What are functional proteins?
Storage molecules, transport molecules, and movement.
Most proteins produced by the cell are functional in?
their quaternanry structure
What functional group is not present in either proteins or carbohydrates?
phosphate
