What determines the primary structure of an RNA molecule?
The sequence of ribonucleotides determines the primary structure of an RNA molecule.
What are the names and description of the four structures of proteins?
If meaning the four structural levels in proteins, then these are:* Primary structure, which is the sequence of amino acids in the peptide chain that constitutes the protein. * Secondary structure, is the location of formations called alpha-helices, beta-sheets and coiled coils (undefined, flexible structure), that forms with the help of hydrogen bonds between amino acids. * Tertiary structure: This is the over-all fold/structure of one peptide chain/protein, which can consist of many so called "domains" of typical structures of alpha-helices and beta-sheets. * Quaternary structure: Because some proteins are formed from many smaller subproteins (that is, by many peptide chains), quaternary structure describe how these subunits are assembled together.
How proteins are suited for their roles as receptor molecule?
Mark scheme: - Many different sorts of proteins - Different primary structure/sequences of amino acids - Tertiary structure - Shape; allowing formation of receptor/binding site/site into which substrate/substrate fits
The sequence of amino acids joined together refers to the?
Peptide sequence or amino acid sequence is the order in which amino acid residues, connected by peptide bonds, lie in the chain in peptides and proteins. The sequence is generally reported from the N-terminal end containing free amino group to the C-terminal end containing free carboxyl group. Peptide sequence is often called protein sequence if it represents the primary structure of a protein.
When proteins are placed in extreme pH and temperature conditions they will unwind and change shape or what?
It's called Denaturing. This results in unfolding and inactivated their three dimensional structure is altered, but their primary structure remains intact. Proteins vary greatly especially under high temperatures.
What are primary proteins?
There is not something known called primary proteins. But proteins do have primary structure. Poly peptide chains after synthesized from ribosomes make up primary structure of a protein. this will afterward form 2D and 3D structure with additional structures and interactions.
Is the structure of protein primary?
The primary structure of proteins is simply a peptide (chain of amino acids).
What characteristic of amino acids determine the primary structure of proteins - Acid-base properties - Side chain composition - Hydrogen bonding properties - Sequence in polypeptide chains?
If you are asking which of the four following answers determines the primary structure of proteins, the answer would be d) sequence of polypeptide chains. After translation and transcription, the order of the bases codes for the proteins that are made. Hope that helps!
What structure of proteins are the sequence of amino acids known as?
That's the primary structure.
Can you sequence the proteins?
Yes; by their primary structure of amino acids.
What is the three dimensional Structure of Keratin?
Keratin is a protein, so it has both a primary and secondary structure. In fact, all proteins have a primary and secondary structure, along with a tertiary and quaternary structure. There are many different ways proteins can be structured and shaped, so biochemists divide proteins into 4 separate parts or structures.
What is the primary characteristic of an element that makes it a good insulator?
If the the number of electrons on the shell are stable.
What is the primary characteristic of element that makes it a good insulator?
If the the number of electrons on the shell are stable.
What has the author Walter A Schroeder written?
Walter A. Schroeder has written: 'The primary structure of proteins'
How are proteins distugushed from each other?
They have different primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structure.
The primary structure of a protein is determined by the sequence of what?
Amino acids, the building blocks of proteins.
What is the bond that exists within proteins?
The atoms of proteins are bond with covalent bonds. The type of bonds participated in making the primary structure of proteins are peptide bonds. Proteins are natural polymers.
