When non polar residues are situated near the helix termini, they are often exposed to solvent. Proteins will compensate for this problem by helix capping. This is simply the provision of H-bond partners for the otherwise bare N-H and C=O groups. Folding places the hydrophobic regions inside the protein.

Which best describes how mrna is reproduced in a cell?

mRNA is synthesized in a cell through a process called transcription, where DNA serves as a template. RNA polymerase binds to the DNA and unwinds the double helix, then synthesizes a complementary RNA strand by adding ribonucleotides according to the DNA template. Once the mRNA strand is complete, it undergoes processing, including capping and polyadenylation, before being transported out of the nucleus for translation into proteins.


What level of protein structure does a a-helix?

Some parts of a protein can have a helical structure - one of the most common secondary structures in proteins is the alpha helix.However, helix - especially double helix - will probably be more often used in the description of DNA, so be careful not to mistake the two.


What is the enzyme that unwinds the DNA from around the histone proteins?

The enzyme responsible for unwinding DNA from around histone proteins is called DNA helicase. It catalyzes the separation of the two strands of the DNA double helix, allowing access for other enzymes and proteins to interact with the DNA.


Which one is the smaller structure chromosome supercoil coil nuucleosome or double helix?

The smallest structure among the options provided is the double helix, which is the structure of DNA at its core. The double helix consists of two strands of nucleotides wound around each other in a helical shape. The other structures mentioned - chromosome, supercoil, and nucleosome - are made up of multiple DNA molecules or DNA-related proteins and are larger in comparison.


What is a single molecule of DNA and associated proteins?

A single molecule of DNA consists of a double helix structure made up of nucleotides. Associated proteins, such as histones, help package and organize the DNA into chromatin. Together, the DNA and proteins form chromosomes within the nucleus of a cell.

There are no known proteins such as helix proteins. Alpha helix is a secondary structure element found in proteins that formed by amino acids which can form helix. Other secondary structures are beta sheets and random coils.

Does a helix refer to a protein's tertiary structure?

All of them. Tertiary is the overall 3D shape of the protein Quaternary is what proteins it is attached to and how Primary is the actual order of the amino-acids which make up the chain Secondary is the way that that chain coils or folds So 'helix' refers to the coiling of the chain. Hence it is the secondary structure.
