Solution :
Denaturing may be defined as the process where the protein they lose their shape and their function because there is a change in the pH level or in the temperature. Although the amino acids sequence also known as primary structure, it does not change. But the shape of the protein might change a little bit so much that it can become dysfunctional in which protein is considered to be denatured.
The enzyme, Pepsin, the breakdown protein in our stomach only operates at a very low pH level. At higher pH level, the pepsin's configuration the way the polypeptide chain is being folded up in a 3 dimension begins to change. The pH level of the stomach is maintained at a low level to ensure that pepsin continues for the digest protein and that it does not denature.
There are 4 levels of the protein structure --- they are the primary, the secondary, the tertiary and the quaternary.
The primary protein is a particular sequence of amino acids in each of the polypeptide chain that makes the protein. The final protein structure depends on this sequence.
Secondary structure arise from the interactions between the neighboring or nearby the amino acids as polypeptide starts folding into 3D form.
The tertiary structure is the most important of structural levels in determining.
The quaternary structure also applies to the proteins made from more than one polypeptide chain.
Answer:
In prokaryotes nucleus is not present so replication transcription and translation takes place in the cytoplasm in the prokaryotes while in eukaryotes replication and translation takes place in the nucleus.
In prokaryotes, transcription and translation are coupled but in eukaryotes, transcription and translation are separated by nucleus and post-transcriptional modification takes place in eukaryotes, not in prokaryotes.
In prokaryotes, ATP synthesis takes place in cell membranes because they do not have mitochondria. Eukaryotes contain mitochondria where ATP synthesis takes place in them.
