a denature protein may re-form to its functional shape when returned to its normal environment. what does that indicate about a protein's conformation? Proteins fold in natural environment (water) in a way that they are stable, but a non-polar solvent provides a very different environment, so the protein has to unfold and adopt a very different shape.
Denaturing a protein will change the three dimensional shape of the protein. Proteins have very specific shape that allow them to interact with their surrounding. Think about melting (denaturing) a key. It will no longer work in the lock (surroundings)
The pH of the environment will change (it'll become more acidic) So the protein won't be able to interact the same therefore the shape will be changed
maintain the cell shape and prevent the cell from burst when the surrounding environment is hypotonic
Proteins are "folded" molecules there is not one shape, each protein is different. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A protein has a primary structure which folds into a secondary structure (alpha helix or B-sheet) and then has a tertiary structure (its 3D fold). Many proteins can complex together to create a quaternary structure. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Depending on the type of protein and the environment that the protein is in determines its "shape". The hydrophobic effect plays a huge role in this. Membrane proteins are in a hydrophobic environment, and cytosolic proteins are in a hydrophilic environment. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you are referring to an amino acid which is a polypeptide monomer, then amino acids have a tetrahedral shape around the alpha carbon. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- also known as a messy group of coat hangers
The specific sequence of amino acids in a protein determines its final shape. This sequence dictates how the protein will fold into its unique three-dimensional structure, which ultimately determines its function. Factors like temperature, pH, and chemical environment can also influence a protein's shape.
This occurs when lipoproteins exchange their lipid and protein components with the environment.
a layer encasing the cell, both providing a sheild from the surrounding the environment and supporting cell shape.
The structural level of a protein is most affected by disruption would be the secondary structure. It is within the secondary structure where the folding and coiling of the protein is stabilized by hydrogen bonds.
DNA determines a protein's shape by determining the sequence of the amino acids in a protein.
because the shape of a protein allows it to perform its particular job
