Which two levels of protein structure principally determine the active site of an enzyme?
Quaternary and Tertiary levels of protein structure principally determine the active site of an enzyme.
What is the most active site of protein synthesis?
The "ribosomes".
The region of a protein that binds a ligand?
It is called an active site (or region).
What is an active site and where is it located?
A region on an enzyme that binds to a protein or other substance during a reaction
Chemical structure of hemoerythrin?
Active site of hemerythrin before and after oxygenation. Single oxygenated hemerythrin protein.
Which two levels of protein structure principally determine the active site of an enzyme?
Quaternary and Tertiary levels of protein structure principally determine the active site of an enzyme.
An enzyme attaches to substrates at a region known as?
The Active Site. If the protein is denatured however, the active site loses shape and the substrates don't fit in the active site (subtrates are "put together" by the enzyme at the active site).
What is the most active site of protein synthesis?
The "ribosomes".
How are amino acids held close together to form the active site?
The active site exists as a natural consequence of the shape of the rest of the protein. Essentially, the peptide residues in the active site are held in position by the intramolecular forces that give the protein as a whole its conformation.
The region of a protein that binds a ligand?
It is called an active site (or region).
What is an active site and where is it located?
A region on an enzyme that binds to a protein or other substance during a reaction
Can the active site of an enzyme be damaged at very high pH levels?
The active site of an enzyme can very much be influenced and damaged by a very high pH level. An enzyme is a protein, and because of that it is very sensitive to pH levels. High pH can denature a protein, and thus "damage" the active site.
How might an amino acid change at a site distant from the active site of the enzyme alter the enzyme's substrate specificity?
The alteration of an amino acid on a site other than the active site will: change the shape of the protein.
What gene specifies a protein that binds to an operatr and physically blocks rna polymerase from binding to a promoter site?
A regulator.
Where on protease does a protein bond itself to?
It depends on the protease, but as with all enzymes, the substrate binds to the active site.
Chemical structure of hemoerythrin?
Active site of hemerythrin before and after oxygenation. Single oxygenated hemerythrin protein.
Does the shape of an enzyme protein determine specificity?
Shape of an enzyme specifically shape of its active site determines enzyme specificity .
