Answer:
In the α helix structure, there is a hydrogen bonding between oxygen atom in a carbonyl of one amino acid and the hydrogen atom of the amino group that is situated four residues farther along the polypeptide chain
Explanation:
The common secondary structure of protein are: <em>α helix and β pleated sheet</em>
<em>α helix </em>is a rod like structure.<em> </em>It is a<em> right handed coil </em>of amino acid residue on a polypeptide chain, which may be 4 units or 40 units long. The coil is held together by hydrogen bond between oxygen atom in a carbonyl of one amino acid and the hydrogen atom of the amino group that is situated four residues farther along the polypeptide chain. This means that every complete turn of the helix is only 3.6 residues.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
Great variations in temperature and pH from the optimum that an enzyme needs can affect its function. pH affects ionization of the functional groups of amino acids. The interaction of charges of these amino groups helps in stabilizing loops such as those of beta sheets and alpha helices and give the protein its an appropriate shape to function.
Temperatures, on the other hand, while it does not change the ionization of the functional side groups of amino acids, it breaks these bonds of the interactions by giving the molecules enough energy to break free from these bonds hence denaturing the protein.
Prophase
During the prophase stage of mitosis, the nucleus seems to disband itself. The nucleolus suspends itself and finally, the nuclear membrane disassembles itself. This is because of the undergoing process of copying and dividing.
Mitosis is a functional cell dividing process that helps the cells repair or rejuvenate itself because of apoptosis and other factors.
