Why would a change in your amino acid cause your enzyme to lose it's function?
By changing the amino acids, you may have also changed the pH of them and enzymes will only work at a certain pH level. This level is different for different enzymes. So the amino acids may well have denatured the enzymes.
How do enymes dentature?
Denaturation is when the interactions that hold together the tertiary and secondary structure of the enzyme are disrupted causing it to lose its shape and thus its functionality. The primary structure (covalently linked amino acids) remains in tact, but other interactions like hydrogen bonding, ionic bonding and disulfide bridges are broken. High temperatures can cause denaturation among other things.
What would happen to the cell if the fatty acids in the cell membrane became soluble in water?
it would cause the cell to lose all of its contents to the outside
What happens when you heat proteins?
it is de-natured, this is why very high fevers are potentially life threatening because the proteins in our body are de-natured causing severe damage Heating affects the secondary structure of proteins, causing changes in the shape of the molecule. An easy example would be human hair which is largely made of protein. When hair is pulled through a curling iron, it tends to become curlier because the heat is changing the secondary structure of the protein molecules that make up the hair. Of course, this change only lasts for a short time.
How are fats and proteins broken down in cellular respiration?
Fats and proteins are first broken down, like polysaccharides, into smaller molecules. They then must be modified accordingly before slipping into a step of glycolysis, the transition stage, or the citric acid cycle (if it is a protein). Fats must first be digested into smaller molecules; namely glycerol and fatty acids. The glycerol is converted into glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate, an intermediary of glycolysis, and added right before the energy payoff phase (where NADH and ATP are beginning to be produced). Fatty acids, where most of the energy from fats are stored, are broken down into two-carbon fragments by a metabolic sequence called beta oxidation. These two-carbon chunks are then added into the citric acid cycle as acetyl Coenzyme A (or acetyl CoA). Interestingly enough, NADH and FADH2 are also generated during beta oxidation and are useable by the electron transport chain to make even more ATP, so the two-carbon chunks are making ATP even before they enter the cycle! Fats are excellent long term energy storages due to their chemical structures and comparatively higher energy levels of electrons (compared to carbohydrates). They are chock full of energy - a single gram of fat oxidized by cellular respiration will produce more than twice as much ATP as a gram of carbohydrate. It's not necessarily good news for us - that means an individual must work harder to lose a gram of fat rather than carbohydrate because there are so many more calories in each gram. Proteins on the other hand must be digested into their monomers, amino acids. When the amino acids are present in excess (amino acids are also used to make new proteins), they may be converted by enzymes into intermediates for cellular respiration. Before they can enter, they must have their amino groups removed through a process called deamination. The nitrogenous leftovers are excreted by the organism in the form of ammonia, urea, or other waste products. The once-amino acids are now able to enter glycolysis, the transition stage, or the citric acid cycle.
In fatty acids does one molecule lose 3 OH ends?
no
When amino acids are broken down they lose their amine groups?
Yes amino acids lose their amine groups when broken down. Amino acids are used as precursors to nucleic acids when broken down.
Amino acids that are convertible to glucose?
protein is of course one of the last sources for fuel, but if ur body needs it, the protein will lose its amino group and will go through cellular respiration starting at glycolysis.the amino acid isn't converted to glucose.
Do acids lose or gain hydrogen ions?
Acids lose hydrogen ions.
Why would a change in your amino acid cause your enzyme to lose it's function?
By changing the amino acids, you may have also changed the pH of them and enzymes will only work at a certain pH level. This level is different for different enzymes. So the amino acids may well have denatured the enzymes.
What is zwitterion with example?
A zwitterion is a compound which contains both positively and negatively charged groups in the same molecule. For example, amino acids H2N-R-COOH form zwitterions: the proton leaves the carboxylic acid group and the amine group becomes protonated, resulting in +H3N-R-COO-
How does a large change in temperature or pH affects proteins?
They come apart and lose there shapeA large change in temperature or ph will cause protiens to come apart and lose their shape.
What molecule loses a proton to form the nitrate ion?
The molecule of nitric acid lose a hydrogen atom, not only a proton.
Do you lose muscle if you dont eat enough protein?
Yes you will. Your body needs the amino acids in protein to rebuild muscle after a workout. If you intend to keep working out then you need protein otherwise your muscles will not rebuild and then they will deteriorate. If you just say "oh well then i wont lift weights", well then you will still lose muscle mass because you wont be working out. If you dont challenge your muscles they will shrink.
Do fat people need protein?
The simple answer is NO. The long answer follows. The human body requires 20 amino acids (the building blocks of protein) in order to function. Most of these can be made by the body, however, there are 8 amino acids that can not be made by the body. You must eat these 8 amino acids in your diet or your health will suffer. In general getting these proteins is not a problem, unless you are vegetarian. Most protein supplements are marketed to body builders. In order to bulk up muscle the body must be supplied with lots of protein. If someone uses a protein supplement and they do not work out hard at the gym then the body will not build muscle. Instead the body will convert the protein into fatty acids, ketone bodies or glucose. In other words, work out at the gym or the protein ends up adding to your fat reserves. What is the long answer short? If you are fat then eat small healthy meals and exercise. This will help you lose weight and get you the proteins (meat, dairy, beans & lentils) you need. To help lose weight exercise on an empty stomach. This will force your body to consume the fat instead of what you just ate. Remember to drink lots of water.
DOES platinum gain lose or share electrons?
Since platinum is a metal it will tend to lose electrons.
How acids in living things weather rocks?
The acids chemically weather rock by breaking up their chemical composition, which eventually causes the rock to lose mass by decomposition.
