Gene contains instructions for assembling?
Proteins. They determine the sequence of amino acids which in turn determines the primary structure of a protein.
Does protein has polymers with many subunits?
Proteins are not polymers.
Are there proteins that don't have a tertiary structure?
Yes. The primary structure is the basic sequence of amino acids in the strand. If a protein doesn't have a primary structure, then it doesn't have amino acids. If it doesn't have amino acids, the building blocks of a protein, then there is no protein to speak of.
What is the four levels of proteins?
Proteins have primary structure, which is their amino acid sequence, secondary structure, which is either the alpha helix or the beta pleated sheet, tertiary structure, the protein's geometric shape, and quaternary structure, the arrangement of multiple protein subunits.
What are the different levels of protein structure and explain why tertiary structure must be maintained for protein function?
Primary = The polypeptide chain.Secondary = Hydrogen bonding of the bases form alpha helix and beta sheets.Tertiary = The R groups bond with each other ( hydrophobic, hydrophyllic, salt bridges, hydrogen bonding ) and the final form of the protein is this construction, so this form must be maintained so that the protein maintains function.Quaternary = The building of structure from more than two protein ( tertiary ) subunits. Hemoglobin, for example.
These are several levels of protein structure the most complex of which is?
protein level 4 which is the quaternary structure composed of several subunits. each unit is single proteing teritatary structured
Is a quaternary structure a polypeptide sequence of amino acids?
No, the polypeptide sequence of amino acids is the primary structure of a protein. The quaternary structure of the protein is the non-covalent interactions (hydrophobic binding, van der wals forces etc..) between subunits/domains of a protein.
Differentiate the four types of protein structure?
There are four types of protein structure. These include primary structure, secondary structure, tertiary structure, and quaternary structure. Primary structure is the amino acid sequence. Secondary structure is the shape of the molecule. Tertiary structure is the interaction between groups. Quaternary structure is the interactions between protein subunits.
Gene contains instructions for assembling?
Proteins. They determine the sequence of amino acids which in turn determines the primary structure of a protein.
How many different kinds of protein subunits are there?
1000's of proteins subunits can be made.
Hemoglobin structure is tertiary or quaternary?
Hemoglobin is made up of four "monomeric subunits" each of which is known as a polypeptide and about the size of many normal individual proteins. Each of these subunits has its own tertiary structure and is about the size of another similar globular protein called Myoglobin. Quarternary structures ONLY exist in proteins with subunits, which are essentially four protein "parts" that are joined together (in this case with Hydrophobic and Ionic interactions) once they are already folded (tertiary structure). 4+ structure is how they fit together. So Myoglobin, with only one subunit does not have a quarternary structure, but does have primary, secondary and tertiary. Insulin, for example has two subunits and it too will have a quarternary structure, or how both subunits fit together
Genes produce instructions only for what?
It produces instructions for assembling proteins.Proteins. They determine the sequence of amino acids which in turn determines the primary structure of a protein.
What is the process of assembling a protein from RNA?
translation
Which subunits makes up a protein?
amino acids
Does protein has polymers with many subunits?
Proteins are not polymers.
The process of assembling a protein from RNA is called and it occurs in the?
The process of assembling a protein from RNA (specially the messenger RNA or mRNA) is called translation and occurs in the ribosomes.
Are there proteins that don't have a tertiary structure?
Yes. The primary structure is the basic sequence of amino acids in the strand. If a protein doesn't have a primary structure, then it doesn't have amino acids. If it doesn't have amino acids, the building blocks of a protein, then there is no protein to speak of.
