What are three examples of polypeptides?
Insulin: a polypeptide hormone that regulates blood sugar levels. Hemoglobin: a polypeptide protein responsible for transporting oxygen in red blood cells. Enzymes: many enzymes are polypeptides that catalyze chemical reactions in the body.
How many polypeptide chains are in a protein?
There is one polypeptide chain in a single protein chain. Polypeptides refer to short protein chains - for example insulin is a 53 amino acid protein and is considered a large polypeptide. Complex multi-component [strand] protein coalescences exist - each uniquely identified component protein strand is called - of course - a subunit: two subunits is called a dimer, three subunits is called a trimer, four is a tetramer etc. A Protein is a string of Pearls {Amino Acids} of which [out of the quadrillion possible] there are ONLY Twenty Biologically Active Types ( with two, sometimes three, more reserved for special occasions ). A common example of a biological multi-strand protein grouping is: 4 strands will combine thusly - 2 strands of one type and 2 strands of another type.
What techniques uses the amino acid sequences of polypeptides to predict a protein's three-dimensional structure?
One technique is homology modeling, where the structure of a protein is predicted based on the sequence similarity with known structures. Another approach is ab initio modeling, which uses physics-based algorithms to predict the protein structure from scratch. Lastly, molecular dynamics simulations can refine and validate protein structures by simulating their behavior over time.
The order of amino acids in a protein is called?
The order of amino acids in a protein is called its primary structure. This sequence is crucial for determining the protein's function and three-dimensional structure. Any alterations in the primary structure can lead to changes in the protein's properties and functions.
What does the three letter base sequence of DNA specify?
The three base sequence in DNA is called a codon.
What uses the amino acid sequences of polypeptides to predict a protein's three-dimensional structure?
Bioinformatics
What are three macromolecules that cannot diffuse across a cell membrane?
Any protein, any fat, and most polypeptides.
What are three examples of polypeptides?
Insulin: a polypeptide hormone that regulates blood sugar levels. Hemoglobin: a polypeptide protein responsible for transporting oxygen in red blood cells. Enzymes: many enzymes are polypeptides that catalyze chemical reactions in the body.
Polypeptides join together to make what?
Polypeptides join together to make proteins. Proteins are composed of one or more polypeptide chains folded into a specific three-dimensional structure that determines their function in the body.
How are polypeptides related to protein?
Cells create proteins by linking amino acids together into a chain called aPolypeptide. Each link is created by a dehydration reaction between the amino group of one amino acid and the carboxyl group of the next amino acid in the chain. Proteins are composed of one of more polypeptide chains. Your body can make an enormous variety of proteins by arranging different amino acids in different orders
What is it called when there is a change in the three-dimensional shape of a protein?
It is called "Denaturing" of proteins.
What are the polymers of protein?
Proteins are polymers made up of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. They are long chains of amino acids that fold into specific three-dimensional structures to carry out various functions in the body.
What is the final three dimension shape of a protein called?
Double Helix
What does pepsin digest?
the pepsin help the protein to digest and breaks into polypeptides

What are the three numbers that separate a set of data into four parts called?
quartiles
