What role can sulfur play in the makeup of amino acids and proteins?

Answer:

Sulfur is part of the structure of some amino acids and proteins.

Explanation:

Sulfur enters the disulfide layers in proteins and is responsible for their spatial structure. Many proteins, in order to perform their function, need a stable spatial form (Enzymes, for example.). Because disulfide bridges form strong bonds between amino acids, this structure remains strong and stable to perform its function.  In addition, sulfur is present in the amino acids cystine, cysteine and methionine contained in proteins. Proteins are the compounds in which most of S and N are incorporated. Sulfur content in proteins is 1 g / kg and N is 15 times higher.

fenix001 [56]

The motif is the repetitive supersecondary structures, an example of a motif is a beta-alpha-beta unit. The motifs are formed of the clusters of secondary structure.  

On the other hand, the domains are globular and stable functional units in a protein. It may retain a three-dimensional configuration when distinguished from the rest of the protein.  

Both the motifs and domains are stabilized by the hydrophobic interactions, they both are a unit of tertiary structure, and are dependent on primary composition.

How is the water cycle related to the Carbon oxygen cycle​
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

The water cycle uses plants for uptake of water and transpiration from the surface, so that water can be sent to the atmosphere.  

Carbon cycle uses plants for uptake of CO2, by which it is removed from the atmosphere (and sent back to atmosphere when the plant is dead).

Explanation:

Both the cycles use plants as an integral component.  Both the water cycle and carbon cycle use subsurface for long term storage.  The water forms groundwater and can be stored for long duration.  Similarly, carbon is stored in rocks for long term.

The tropomyosin filament would not be dislodged preventing contraction.

The cross bridges would remain linked and therefore contraction would stop

The cross bridges would break apart due to the presence of calcium ions enabling some contraction

The myosin heads would separate from the actin molecule due to the release of ADP that was previously present.
