What else can I help you with?
Do you need to eat extra protein to help you build muscles?
stick with daily nutritional amounts. you could drink protein/ whey drinks as well.
What might happen to a nuclear power plant if the containment structure was damaged?
It could release radiation.
What would happen if the DNA was damaged?
it could change the entire dna structure, and cause deformations
Changing one amino acid with a protein could change what about the protein?
It will depend on how different the amino acid is to the one it replaced. If the structure and/or charge is quite different, a change of one amino acid can change the entire 3D structure of the protein. This will affect the proteins function.
How could genetic engineering help keep strawberries from being damaged in a frost?
Bacteria added to the berries would be missing a certain protein.
How does the sequence of DNA affect the function of a protein?
The sequence of nucleotides in DNA molecule is equivalent and is closely related to an amino acid sequence in the protein molecule. If for any reason the sequence of DNA nucleotides changes it will be reflected in amino acid sequence in the protein. Moreover, the correct sequence of amino acid in the protein will form the correct three-dimensional structure, or tertiary structure, that will confer the biological activity to protein. If a wrong amino acid is translated from a mutated gene in the DNA could change the spatial structure of the protein and therefore modify or erase its biological function.
Why the addition of an extra base in a DNA sequence would change the message carried by a DNA molecule?
It could change the type of protein that would be produced hence change the structure and function of that protein.
If you knew the sequence of nucleotides within a gene which one what could you determine with the most accuracy?
Knowing the sequence of nucleotides within a gene allows you to determine the specific amino acid sequence of the protein encoded by that gene with the most accuracy. This information is crucial for understanding the structure and function of the protein and its potential role in biological processes.
When globular protein has its hydrogen bonds broken it becomes?
When a globular protein has its hydrogen bonds broken, it can become denatured. This disrupts its folded structure, causing it to lose its specific shape and potentially its function. This could be reversible or irreversible depending on the extent of damage to the protein.
Altering what levels of structural organization could change the function of a protein?
Changing the primary structure (sequence of amino acids) of a protein can alter its overall function due to changes in the interactions between amino acids. Additionally, modifying the tertiary structure (folding) of a protein can affect its active sites and binding capabilities, consequently impacting its function. Lastly, altering the quaternary structure (arrangement of multiple protein subunits) can lead to changes in protein-protein interactions and overall protein function.
What are common items that would best represent the primary structure of a protein?
beads of different colors joined together on a piece of string
Role of edta in protein isolation?
Ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) is used in protein isolation to chelate and bind divalent metal ions, such as calcium and magnesium, which could potentially degrade the protein structure and function. By sequestering these metal ions, EDTA helps to stabilize the protein structure during the isolation process, preventing protein denaturation and maintaining its biological activity. Additionally, EDTA can also inhibit metal-dependent proteases, further protecting the integrity of the isolated proteins.
