<u>Antibiotics are used to kill bacteria:</u>

Antibiotic is a naturally produced substance that is used to kill bacteria. The first antibiotic was penicillin produced from fungus. The word antibiotic means against life which means it is against the life of pathogenic bacteria.

In the case of the living organism that is treated antibiotic is ‘pro life’. Antimicrobials are used to kill pathogenic microbes like fungus, bacteria, virus etc. Sometimes the microbes become resistant to the antimicrobials and they are said to develop is antimicrobial resistance.

When pathogens develop antimicrobial resistance newer drugs have to be developed in place of the earlier ones to treat the disease.

Proteins may be classified according to their three-dimensional shapes. Determine whether the following examples and description
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

-often function as enzymes or transport proteins  ⇒ globular proteins

-peptide chains arranged in long strands, or fibers  ⇒ fibrous proteins

-peptide chains highly folded into spherical shapes  ⇒ globular proteins

-keratins  ⇒ fibrous proteins

-hemoglobin  ⇒ globular proteins

-water-soluble  ⇒ globular proteins

-collagens  ⇒ fibrous proteins

-insoluble in water  ⇒ fibrous proteins

-generally function in structure and support ⇒ fibrous proteins

Explanation:

<u>Fibrous proteins </u>are composed by large polypeptide chains which interact each other and form large structures. They have water insoluble and have structural and protection functions- they are components of cells and tissues. Examples are: collagen, fibronectin, keratin, elastin, actin.

<u>Globular proteins</u> have a spherical compact structure in which hydrophobic aminoacids are buried inside the structure and hydrophilic aminoacids (which can interact with water molecules) are exposed to the exterior medium. For this, they are water soluble. They have often transport and catalytic functions. For example: hemoglobin, mioglobin, albumin, enzymes in general.
