What is essential to the function of a protein?

Biology
1 answer:
nirvana33 [79]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The types of R-groups

It's shape

Explanation:

The structure of an enzyme is strongly related to its function. For example an enzyme structure defines its active site and how that site interacts with the substrate for catalysis of a reaction.

On the other hand, the structure of a protein is highly dependent on the interactions of the R-groups of the amino acids that make up the proteins. The interactions are dependent on the charges of these groups that stabilize protein structures such loops of beta-sheets and alpha-helices. If these charges are affected then the conformation of the protein will also most likely be altered.

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

A is a Comet, B is an asteroid

Explanation:

From its long hazy tail, it appears that the object in figure A is a comet. Comets are a mixture of ice, frozen carbon dioxide, rock, and dust. The bodies shown in figure B appear to be asteroids, which are chunks of rock.

Water vapor in the atmosphere_____. is the most common gas causes evaporation traps heat and helps keep the Earth warm is formed
Taya2010 [7]

Answer: traps heat and helps keep the Earth warm

Water vapor in the atmosphere traps heat and helps keep the Earth warm

Explanation:

The water vapour present in the layer of the atmosphere help to retain heat radiated from the earth surface. By so doing, it provides warmth alongside sunlight to the Earth's surface.

Novay_Z [31]
The correct answer is E.coli.

Eating undercooked meat puts you at a great risk of getting food-borne diseases, which are caused by pathogen microorganisms. One of the most common food-borne diseases from under-cooked beef is E.coli. The most common symptoms of E.coli are vomiting, diarrhoea and stomach cramps.

Sort the following events into two categories:________.
Amanda [17]

Answers:

a) carcinogenic

b) anti-carcinogenic

c) carcinogenic

d) carcinogenic

e) carcinogenic

f) anti-carcinogenic

g) anti-carcinogenic

h) anti-carcinogenic

Explanation:

Cyclins are proteins that regulate the progression through the cell cycle, i.e., the transition of G1 to S phase. It is well known that high cyclin expression may lead to cell proliferation states, which is closely associated with cancer progression. Moreover, the blockage of cyclins may have an anti-carcinogenic effect by inhibiting the progression through the cell cycle. MAP kinases are serine/threonine kinases that regulate the progression through the cell cycle by phosphorylating a variety of substrates during cell proliferation. In consequence, phosphatases that inactivate MAPK kinases (i.e., by dephosphorylation) may have an anticarcinogenic effect. The p53 is a tumor suppressor protein involved in diverse cellular processes including DNA repair, cycle arrest and programmed cell death. This protein (p53) is activated by phosphorylation at target residues and phosphatases inactivate it, thereby the blockage of its degradation may have an anticarcinogenic effect. Oncogene activation (i.e., the expression of oncogenes), may alter diverse cellular processes including DNA replication, and thereby may lead to cancer development. The G-protein α subunit is a GTPase that hydrolyses GTP and thus has a major role in controlling the kinetics of the G-protein signaling cascade. Platelet-derived growth factor receptors (PDGFR) are kinase receptors that play roles in regulating cellular differentiation, cell proliferation and cell growth. PDGFR receptors are present on the surface of normal cells, however, it has been shown that mutations of the PDGFR genes that lead to their high expression lead to uncontrolled cell growth and consequently cause cancer (i.e., by increasing PDGF signaling).
