Describe how proteins fold, mentioning at least three rules followed by the amino acids.

1 answer:

7 0

Protein folding is determined by a variety of factors, from the amino acid composition all the way through to primary, secondary and tertiary structures of the proteins. Proteins fold in water environments, and how they fold is determined by the hydrophobicity, hydrophilicity and charge of amino acids. Amino acids that are hydrophobic will face away from water environments, while hydrophilic amino acids will face towards water environments. This gives rise to primary and secondary structures such as alpha-helices and beta-sheets. Among these are a variety of structures that form the tertiary structures. The different types of amino acids play an essential role in this, as they are the building blocks of proteins and can affect the structures of proteins because of their charge and affinity for water.

Andida albicans is part of our normal oral flora. Under certain conditions, it can overgrow, leading to oral thrush. Typically,

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

Opportunistic, endogenous pathogen

Explanation:

Opportunistic infection is an infection that is caused by the microbes that are otherwise the component of one's own normal microbiota. Under particular conditions, the microbes become pathogenic and cause infection. The pathogen-derived from one's own microbiota is called endogenous pathogen.

According to the given information, <em>Candida albicans </em>is a part of the microflora of mouth but becomes pathogenic under certain conditions. In healthy individuals, they do not produce disease as their overgrowth is suppressed by other microbiota and other host resistance mechanisms. The infection occurs only in those individuals with predisposing factors such as weakened immune system or after consumption of antibacterial medications that disturb the normal microbiota and immune competency. This makes it an opportunistic, endogenous pathogen.

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

The phylogenetic graph uses several types of variables to be formed, while other models use only one type of variable.

Explanation:

To create a phylogenetic chart, matrices with data on the studied species are used. These data are composed of morphological, chemical and / or genetic information that allow a detailed investigation about the ancestry of each species, in addition to allowing the correct grouping based on this ancestry and evolution.

A phylogenetic graph is different from other molecular models due to the number of data considered by it, since other models, such as the molecular clock, for example, only consider genetic based information.
