No, generally proteins have not catalytic properties, typical roles of proteins are
- Components of the body structure (muscles for example);
- Element of information transmission among cells;
- Transportation proteins (like Cholesterol for example that is used tot transport fat molecules in blood)
- Antibodies
and many others
A particular class of proteins however do exist, enzymes, that are the most used catalytic substances in nature.
They are however only a particular category among proteins.
What else can I help you with?
If two proteins contain the same type and number of amino acids but the order in which they link up is different are the properties of the two proteins the same?
no, it changes the properties. ex: phy-lhe is different than lhe-phy sources: exploring creation with biology 2nd edition
What molecule contains all the information a cell needs to make proteins?
The DNA contains the 'blueprints' for proteins.
To manufacture proteins all cells also contain?
Mitochondria
If a cell did not have ribosomes it would be unable to?
synthesize protein, it will not be able to manufactur the proteins which is fundamental for the cells wore work effctively and produce atp energy
Plasma membranes are a feature of?
Like all other cellular membranes, the plasma membrane consists of both lipids and proteins
Who stated that all not all enzymes are proteins?
Thomas R. Cech and Sydney Altman received the 1989 Nobel Prize in Chemistry "for their discovery of catalytic properties of RNA".
Which is the biology discipline that studies the proteins?
For catalytic proteins, enzymology and for structural biology, structural proteins
What is abzyme?
An abzyme is an antibody with catalytic properties.
What is an abzyme?
An abzyme is an antibody with catalytic properties.
How do the properties of proteins make them such useful catalysts?
No
Why is DNA frequently found associated with proteins inside of cells?
Histones are proteins which are associated with DNA and from nucleosomes, which pack the DNA. Transcription factors, proteins involved in DNA synthesis, replication...
What kind or biological molecule are enzymes typically?
Enzymes are typically proteins, although some RNA molecules can also exhibit catalytic activity as enzymes.
What form of RNA forms a particle where proteins are assembled?
This catalytic form of RNA is called ribosomal RNA, rRNA.
What are two other factors that affect the rate of the reaction?
The properties of reactants (reactivity) and catalytic behaviour
What is a side chain in proteins?
There are no side chains in proteins, but the side chains in amino acids, the building blocks of proteins, determine their unique properties.
Why do globular proteins in contrast to fibrous proteins have a catalytic or regulatory role?
Globular proteins are typically more versatile and dynamic in structure compared to fibrous proteins, allowing them to adopt various conformations necessary for catalytic and regulatory functions. Their compact, spherical shape facilitates interactions with substrates and other molecules, enabling efficient binding and reaction. Additionally, the presence of active sites and specific binding sites within their structure allows globular proteins to participate in biochemical reactions and regulatory processes, unlike fibrous proteins, which primarily provide structural support.
Are proteins soluble in water?
Yes, proteins are generally soluble in water due to their hydrophilic (water-attracting) properties.
