The structural level of a protein least affected by a disruption in hydrogen bonding is the?
primary level
The stability of the three-dimensional shape of many large molecules is dependent on?
The stability of the three-dimensional shape of many large molecules is dependent on Hydrogen Bonds.
How does the shape of a protein change as it goes from primary to quaternary?
The primary structure of a protein is the unique sequence of amino acids. There are 20 possible amino acids, and the primary structure consists of a string of amino acids held together by peptide bonds. The secondary structure occurs when the amino acid chain becomes coiled or folded in alpha helix or beta pleated sheets. The protein develops its three-dimensional shape in the tertiary structure. Van der Waals interactions, disulfide bonds, hydrophobic interactions, and ionic bonding all impact the tertiary structure. Finally, the quaternary structure is made up of more than one polypeptide chain (a polypeptide chain is the string of amino acids described in the primary structure). Hope this helps!
What is the level of protein structure that describes all aspects of the three-dimensional folding of a polypeptide?
Primary: Simple string of amino acids called a polypeptide. Secondary: The varied hydrogen bonding of the side chains resulting in alpha helixes and beta sheets. Tertirary: The R group bondingd; hydophobic, hydrophilic, hydrogen bonding and disulfide bonding, which results in the globular, actual protein. Quarternary: The construction of multi protein subunits from tertiary structure. Such as hemeglobin.
What causes the secondary structure of protein to differ in length from the primary?
The primary structure is a one or two dimensional structure, whereas the secondary structure is a three dimensional structure in which different parts of the protein molecule bend and twist due to the formation of hydrogen bonds between atoms. This makes the secondary structure shorter than the primary structure.
What is the pH of carbon disulfide?
Carbon disulfide does not contain hydrogen (dissociable or otherwise), and therefore does not have a pH.
What is the formula for hydrogen disulfide?
It is H2S2. See related link.
What are the Covalent compound of sulphur and hydrogen?
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is the most common example, though hydrogen disulfide (H2S2) also exists.
What are the 3 side bonds that concern cosmetologists?
salt , hydrogen , and disulfide bonds
Which is stronger - a disulfide or ionic bond?
Disulfide bond is a covalent bond and the relative strength of bond types is as follows:Covalent > Ionic > Hydrogen > Van der Walls forcesTherefore, disulfide bond is stronger than ionic bond
What does sulfur combine with?
Sulfur can bond with 2 hydrogen atoms to create hydrogen sulfide. Two sulfur atoms and two hydrogen atoms can aslo bond to create hydrogen disulfide
Is peroxide flammable?
Hydrogen peroxide, which has a boiling point of 150.2 degrees, is non-flammable. Related compounds to Hydrogen peroxide include water, hydrazine and hydrogen disulfide.
What are the three diferentes types of side bonds?
Side bonds link two adjacent chains of atoms in a molecule. The three types of side bonds are hydrogen bonds, salt bonds and disulfide bonds.
What structural level of a protein most affected by a disruption in hydrogen bonding?
The structural level of a protein is most affected by disruption would be the secondary structure. It is within the secondary structure where the folding and coiling of the protein is stabilized by hydrogen bonds.
What is the compound name for H2S2?
Hydrogen persulphide, or hydrogen di0sulphide. It has the structure 'H-S-S-H'.
The structural level of a protein least affected by a disruption in hydrogen bonding is the?
primary level
What does waving lotion do in a perm?
It breaks the hydrogen and disulfide bonds (bonds in and between proteins chains of the hair) in order to get perfect perms.
