What is the Radioactive molecule used to label proteins?
Proteins are labeled with radioactive amino acids so that they can be identified. Scientists use radioactivity to label proteins in order to track them during their experiments, you can follow protein degradation, label proteins that don't have antibodies, label all proteins produced at a certain time, separate proteins produced by intracellular pathogens from host proteins, among many other uses.
Nitrogen is used by living organisms to produce?
Nitrogen is consumed by different organisms in different ways. Legumes (a type of plant) are able to take nitrogen straight out of the atmosphere (which is roughly 78% nitrogen gas). Animals aren't able to do this so they must obtain their nitrogen by eating substances such as vegetables and meat. We break down proteins (largely from meat) down to their constituents which are amino acids. This is how we obtain our source of nitrogen (amino acids contain nitrogen atoms). We then use these amino acids to build proteins that we need in our body such as tissue, enzymes, antibodies and more.
When apply hydrogen peroxide to a scrapped knee what cause the hydrogen peroxide to bubble up?
the proteins in the blood the proteins in the blood
How does aqueous ammonium sulfate precipitate proteins?
Water molecules bind to ammonium and sulfate ions rather than proteins.
What happens when T2 phages are grown in the presence of radioactive phosphorus?
The bacterial proteins will become radioactive
What do B cells produce when an infectious bacterium enters the body?
When an infectious bacterium enters the body, the B cell makes proteins called "antibodies."
Specialized disease-fightning proteins are?
Proteins involved mainly in defense system are antibodies or immunoglobulins.They help to neutralize the pathogen and clear them out of the cells. In addition there are complement proteins, Interferons, cytokines, etc. in the immune system.
What blood proteins fight disease?
Antibodies are proteins in the blood that fight disease.
What are five role of protein?
Energy formation Enzymes are proteins In Immune System Antibodies are specialized protein Protein is necessary in building and repairing body tissues Hormonal proteins, like insulin and oxytocin
Antibodies are organic compound classified as?
Proteins
Why are allergies different to infectious diseases?
i think this is because allergies always have a cure and don't have the biggest chance in killing you while the infectious diseases have the bigger chance in killing you and don't always have a cureas i said before i think this is the answerAnswer:An allergy is caused by an over-reaction by the immune system to certain proteins in food or in the environment. Infectious diseases are caused by pathogens: virus, bacteria, protozoa or fungi.
What helps your body fight diseases?
Your immune system. The healthier your immune system is, the more likely you will be able to fight off infections and diseases. Antibodies are proteins in the blood that fight disease. - DLW
Are antibodies self-produced proteins?
No; antibodies cannot produce themselves.
What are enzymes and antibodies examples of?
proteins
Do antibody have a nucleus?
Antibodies do not have a nucleus, because they are not cells. Antibodies are globulin proteins.
What are proteins that recognize specific proteins on bacteria?
Simple the answer is an Antibody!
What are the potentially harmful side effects of antibodies?
Antibodies attack proteins. If the organism starts to produce antibodies against the essencial proteins in metabolism (as seen in autoimune disease) it can lead to death
