What can happen if there is one wrong amino acid in a protein?

I feel like there are conflicting answers to this, probably because both play a role...tertiary structure is the actual 3-D structure, which dictates how the protein interacts on a molecular level, but primary structure ultimately determines tertiary...a recent practice question said primary structure, but I've seen tertiary as the answer before...Does anyone have a clear answer/reasoning for that answer?? interesting question. what happens if you change an important catalytic residue but maintain tertiary structure? no function. what if you denature something and it loses shape? no function. both are right. a question like this on the MCAT would definitely be more explicit, examples: it is found that a patient has a single amino acid mutation resulting in the change in activity of phosphofructokinase. this mutation most directly affects? -answer: primary structure, its a single amino acid mutation, the rest of the protein is probably the same. urea, a denaturing agent and byproduct of amino acid metabolism is found abnormally in other parts of the body. enzymes in this part of the body are unable to function properly most likely due to a change in: -tertiary structure. overall shape has changed.


Body structures that don't seem to have a function?

the appendix has no function There was an article on the internet recently that said that scientists think that the function of the appendix is that it stores bacteria so that if one's system is cleared of all "good" bacteria, the appendix can then start a new supply of those necessary bacteria. If this is true, then the appendix DOES have a function.


When a protein loses its natural shape it is said to be what?

Denatured. A denatured protein is any protein that has been altered in its structure due to any of a variety of influences (ionic strength of solution, pH, temperature etc) resulting in a loss of function, such as a loss of catalytic activity. Denatured proteins tend to precipitate in solution.


What is the effect of temperature on protein shape and give an example?

In most cases, extremes of temperature denature (alter the 3D structure of) proteins. In biological systems that denaturing temperature may be fairly mild. Another term for protein denaturing is coagulation which is what happens to the proteins of a boiled egg.

1. Cells are the basic unit of structure in all living things.2. Cells carry on all life processes.even though you only said two...3. Cells are produced by other living cells.

What does it mean when dinosaurs have homologous structure?

Two samples are said to homologous, in this context, when they are both very similar in structure and shape and more than likely function.
