hich of the following amino acids can contribute to the three-dimensional structure of a protein by forming covalent bonds with
ollegr [7]

Cysteine contributes to the three-dimensional structure of a protein by forming covalent bonds with an identical amino acid in another part of the protein.

<h3>What is the Cysteine Structure?</h3>
  • Covalent disulfide bonds form between the sulfhydryl (-SH) groups of cysteines in different parts of a protein are very important in determining the three-dimensional shape of the protein.
  • is a HOOC-CH-(NH2)-CH2-SH proteinogenic amino acid that is semi-essential. Cysteine's thiol side chain frequently functions as a nucleophile in enzyme processes.
  • The sign Cyz is occasionally used when a deprotonated catalytic residue is present.
  • The sign Cym can also be used to usually denote the deprotonated form.
  • The thiol is capable of being oxidized to produce the disulfide derivative cystine, which is crucial for many proteins' structural integrity. Cyx is sometimes used in this context. It carries the E identifier E920 when added to food.
  • The codons UGU and UGC encode the amino acid cysteine.
  • Cysteine and methionine, which contain sulfur, are more quickly oxidized than other amino acids.

How do you think Darwin came up with his theory?
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

The theory of evolution by natural selection, first formulated in Darwin's book "On the Origin of Species" in 1859, is the process by which organisms change over time as a result of changes in heritable physical or behavioral traits. Changes that allow an organism to better adapt to its environment will help it survive and have more offspring.

Evolution by natural selection is one of the best substantiated theories in the history of science, supported by evidence from a wide variety of scientific disciplines, including paleontology, geology, genetics and developmental biology.

The theory has two main points, said Brian Richmond, curator of human origins at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. "All life on Earth is connected and related to each other," and this diversity of life is a product of "modifications of populations by natural selection, where some traits were favored in and environment over others," he said.

More simply put, the theory can be described as "descent with modification," said Briana Pobiner, an anthropologist and educator at the Smithsonian Institution National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C., who specializes in the study of human origins.

The theory is sometimes described as "survival of the fittest," but that can be misleading, Pobiner said. Here, "fitness" refers not to an organism's strength or athletic ability, but rather the ability to survive and reproduce.
