Protein structure is the three-dimensional arrangement of atoms in a protein molecule. Proteins are polymers — specifically polypeptides — formed from sequences of amino acids, the monomers of the polymer. A single amino acid monomer may also be called a residue (chemistry) indicating a repeating unit of a polymer. Proteins form by amino acids undergoing condensation reactions, in which the amino acids lose one water molecule per reaction in order to attach to one another with a peptide bond. By convention, a chain under 30 amino acids is often identified as a peptide, rather than a protein.[1] To be able to perform their biological function, proteins fold into one or more specific spatial conformations driven by a number of non-covalent interactions such as hydrogen bonding, ionic interactions, Van der Waals forces, and hydrophobic packing. To understand the functions of proteins at a molecular level, it is often necessary to determine their three-dimensional structure. This is the topic of the scientific field of structural biology, which employs techniques such as X-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy, and dual polarisation interferometry to determine the structure of proteins.
Protein structures range in size from tens to several thousand amino acids.[2] By physical size, proteins are classified as nanoparticles, between 1–100 nm. Very large aggregates can be formed from protein subunits. For example, many thousands of actin molecules assemble into a microfilament.
A protein may undergo reversible structural changes in performing its biological function. The alternative structures of the same protein are referred to as different conformational isomers, or simply, conformations, and transitions between them are called conformational changes.
Answer:
A solution could be made by listening to each other thoughts and their sides of the story
Explanation:
You did not give me any statements to pick from but if any could relate to this one it will be right I hope this helps :)
Answer:
Halophiles of Archaea domain
Explanation:
The Archaea are characterized as single cells. They can exihibit both the autotrophic and heterotrophic mode of nutrition. Their cell walls do not contain peptidoglycans but contain pseudo-peptidoglycans etc. Their environmental conditions also need to be known to give a definitive identification and also are their organelles membrane bound.
The correct answer is protein.
Proteins are macromolecules composed of amino acids with the wide range of structures. Protein functions are diverse:
• structural proteins-maintaining the cell shape, (for example, proteins are structural elements in connective tissues like cartilage and bone in vertebrates),
• Enzymes - catalyze the biochemical reactions in cells-.
• Monitors- changing their activity in response to metabolic signals
• Part of the extracellular matrix or involved in intercellular communication…
Answer:
1. C.) Their cell walls contain chitin
2. C.) Chloroplast
