The term meaning situated nearest the midline or beginning of a body structure is proximal. Proximal is a medical term frequently used to mention to the distance of a body part such as shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, fingers etc. in respects to its contiguity from the center of the body, normally the torso. In most circumstances, torso as the center point and the arms and legs as connections that prolong from the center. The further away an attachment or body part is from the center shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, fingers the more distal it is and the closer the body part is to the center the more proximal it is. Therefore, when looking at the center of the human body, the shoulder is proximal in closer proximity to the torso when related to the elbow which is further away.
Animals use specific strategies to attract males/females in their species because for the mating process to happen, the animals must be attracted to one another so that they can continue with the certain circle of life.
They change conformation/shape when the right molecule bind in their active site.
They enable reactions to proceed ‘downhill’. For enzyme, when the reactants are more than the products, the reaction proceeds to the right of the reaction. Career proteins also carry molecules down their concentration gradient.
Both career proteins and enzymes are not denatured during the process of their biological activity
