Proteins have many ionizable groups like carboxyl (COO-) and amino (NH3+) groups. At very high pH, these groups lose or gain protons, resulting in a net negative charge on the protein, turning it into a polyanion. The pH conditions promote deprotonation of the acidic sites on the protein, leading to an increase in negative charges.

What class of organic molecules is damaged by high temperature?

Enzymes are proteins. They are very important because they catalyse metabolic processes in the body that would not be able to occur without them. Their function is dependant upon their shape. If an enzyme is not the correct shape for the molecules it need to bind to then it will not be able to catalyse the process it is involved in. The shapes (quaternery structure) of enzymes are the result of attractive forces between funtional groups within the protein. These attrative forces are quite weak, and high temperatures within the body will break them and the enzymes will lose their shape (they are de-natured). Once the structure is lost it cannot be reformed again, so the process regulated by any enzyme that has denatured no longer function properly.


What is the chemical equation for proteins?

Proteins have a very complicate chemical formula but not a "balanced chemical equation".


Why does the throughput drop when is load is either very low or very high?

The sent packets will increase according to the sent packets. And the relationship will become less. When it is over 1100 the number of received packets will decrease when the sent packets keep increasing.


Like atoms can molecules can become ions true or false?

Some molecules can become ions, especially at very high temperatures or at other high-energy conditions. For example, a hydrogen molecule can become a positive ion by losing one of its electrons.


What are the drawbacks of sds page?

Some drawbacks of SDS page include: Limited resolving power for proteins with similar sizes. Inability to provide information on protein structure or function. Difficulty in separating proteins with very high or low molecular weights. Potential loss of biological activity during sample preparation.

Why is it important not to heat the food substance which is being tested for protein?

Heating the food substance being tested for protein can denature the proteins, leading to false results in the analysis. This can affect the accuracy of protein content measurements and skew the nutritional information of the food product.
