|
O-Linked and N-Linked glycoproteins are formed when sugar chains attach to what? |
oxygen and nitrogen of the side chains in amino acid residues |
|
|
Can you determine a proteins structure without isolating it completely? |
Yes, you can compare it's nucleotide sequence to comparable proteins |
|
|
would you expect palm oils and coconut oils or oils in tropical areas to have short chain fatty acids with multiple double bonds? |
no, you would expect membrane lipids from tropical plants to be longer chained saturated fatty acids without c=c double bonds which gives them less fluidity so they are functional at higher temperatures |
|
|
what does a saturated phosphatidylcholine chain do to the transition temperature of a lipid membrane? |
longer than 14 means that it is solid at room temperature, while those with fewer than 14 are liquid, meaning it has a high temperature for transition |
|
|
what does a double bond do to the transition temperature of a lipid membrane? |
creates kinks which does not allow for tight packing and thus have the lowest melting points |
