What else can I help you with?
How does the denaturizing of a protein make it unable to do its job?
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)
How does protein inflammation impact the body's immune response?
Protein inflammation can affect the body's immune response by triggering the release of inflammatory molecules that can activate immune cells. This can lead to an overactive immune response, causing chronic inflammation and potentially damaging healthy tissues.
What is it called when there is a change in the three-dimensional shape of a protein?
It is called "Denaturing" of proteins.
C-reactive protein is released into the bloodstream in response to?
C-reactive protein is released into the bloodstream in response to inflammation in the body. It is a marker of acute inflammation and is produced by the liver in response to cytokines released by immune cells. High levels of C-reactive protein can indicate infection, tissue damage, or chronic inflammatory conditions.
Does exposing a protein to heat break peptide bonds?
Yes. If enough heat is applied the protein breaks down. This is called denaturing the protein if I recall correctly.
The process by which the tertiary and or quaternary structure of a protein are altered is known as?
denaturing. the proteins are said to be 'denatured'
What is the protein that destroys pathogen?
antibody
What are some common protein denaturing agents?
Common protein denaturing agents include heat, strong acids or bases, organic solvents, and chaotropic agents like urea and guanidine hydrochloride. These agents disrupt the non-covalent interactions holding the protein structure together, leading to protein unfolding and loss of function.
Special protein that atacches to a specific pathogen?
The special protein that attaches to a specific pathogen is called an antibody. Antibodies are produced by the immune system in response to antigens, which are unique molecules found on the surface of pathogens like bacteria and viruses. By binding to these antigens, antibodies help neutralize the pathogen and mark it for destruction by other immune cells. This specificity enables the immune system to effectively target and eliminate a wide variety of infectious agents.
How does a DNA vaccine prevent future disease?
A DNA vaccine contains DNA from a pathogen but cannot cause disease. When the vaccine is injected into a patient, the DNA directs the synthesis of a protein. Antibodies are produced by the body against the protein. If the patient contracts the disease in the future, the antibodies in his or her body will be able to provide protection.
What is function of fibrinogen?
A protein produced by the liver and play as a key role in the inflammatory response. This protein helps stop bleeding by helping blood clots to form. Fibrinogen converted by thrombin into fibrin during blood coagulation.
Which pathogen is a packet of RNA or DNA with a protein coat?
That would be a virus.
