Answer:

there are four types of protein structure;

  • primary
  • secondary
  • tertiary
  • quatenary

Explanation:

A protein is a very large biological molecule composed of a chain of smaller molecules called amino acids. Thousands of different proteins are present in a cell, the synthesis of each type of protein being directed by a different gene.

Determining the process by which proteins fold into particular shapes, characteristic of their amino acid sequence, is commonly called "the protein folding problem", an area of study at the forefront of computational biology. One approach to studying the protein folding process is the application of statistical mechanics techniques and molecular dynamics simulations to the study of protein folding. Protein folding enables them to perform different diverse functions.

Protein have a three-dimensional structure that enables them to perform diverse functions like transsport,structural support as building blocks and metabolic regulators as enzymes and hormones.

Ionic compounds are formed from strong electrostatic interactions between ions, which result in higher melting points and electrical conductivity compared to covalent compounds. Covalent compounds have bonds where electrons are shared between atoms.

How does biodiversity contribute to the sustainability of an ecosystem?
Westkost [7]
It’s a simple thing really, the more options or “diversity” it’s more likely that it will be more sustainable and things will find a way to survive. Think about it like a video game level, the more tries you have the more likely you are for success

Scientists have engineered bacteria to produce human proteins, such as human growth hormone (hGH) used to help treat dwarfism. S
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

Bacteria do not possess the tendency to withdraw sequences of introns from a gene, thus, if the gene for the human growth hormone were transcribed, it would translate into a non-functional protein.  

When the expression of a gene takes place in eukaryotes, the budding mRNA comprising introns are removed consequently at the time of post-translational processing to produce mature mRNA. Also, the human growth hormone is produced by the pituitary gland in the form of a pre-hormone comprising a leader peptide of about 20 amino acids in length, which need to get removed post-translationally to produce a mature functional protein.  

Bacteria do not possess the biochemical machinery either to effectively withdraw the leader peptide after translation or to splice out the introns. Thus, when an unchanged human growth hormone is cloned, the bacteria cannot produce the functional human growth hormone.
