    Task 2a - Explain the tertiary structure in detail ;consider protein shape, bonds involved, how these bonds are made (groups involved, location) give an example of protein having this structure. The primary and secondary structures are both present in a tertiary structure, the whole chain may then be folded further to give the protein molecule a complex globular shape that is known ate the tertiary structure. Similarly to the secondary structure the tertiary structure of protein is determined by a sequence of amino acids in the polypeptide chain. (Inge B et al, 2001 page 45) This means that the tertiary structure refers to the overall three dimensional shape of a polypeptide chain. As seen in the image below. Proteins are classified into…

    thousands and thousands of different proteins, each with a specific structure and function. Along with their diverse functions, they vary in structure, each protein having its own unique three-dimensional shape. Proteins are polymers of amino acids joined together by peptide bonds. There are 20 different amino acids to make up all the different proteins on the earth. Each of the amino acids is composed of a central carbon bonded to a hydrogen, a carboxyl group, an amino acid group, and an…

    Proteins are known as the building blocks of cells in all living organisms. Many hormones are made up of proteins and the digestive system, immune system and blood replies on proteins. Therefore, protein is an essential part of healthy diet, and integral to development of the body. The purpose of performing this lab is to analyzing the activity of TEM-1 B-lactamase and how it reacts with high temperatures, chaotropic salts, detergents and pH values. INTRODUCTION: Primary protein structure is…

    Compare and Contrast Macromolecule Structures- How Structure Pays for Function Macromolecules provide essential functions to life, including structural support, a source for stored fuel, an ability to store and retrieve genetic information, among many others. The similarities and differences between the primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structures of proteins, membranes, and nucleic acids are critical in understanding biological processes. Nucleic acids and proteins have analogous…

    My type of molecule, Proteins should be the MVP because they protect the body, help to create new molecules, give structure to many parts of the body, send messages, and they transport and store molecules and cells. The first characteristic of my molecule is its solubility. Keratin is insoluble to water this is why keratin waterproofs the skin. The second property of Keratin is it’s luster, keratin is shiny. The third characteristic of keratin is it’s texture, the texture of keratin is hard…

    etc. Protein-protein interaction plays an important role in functioning of body’s significant mechanism such as replication, transcription, translation, signal transduction, cell cycle, etc. Thus, proteins clusters together in a network map linking together various amino acids by peptide bond forming a three-dimensional structure. The entire map showing events of protein interactions that can occur in a living organism is called the interactome…

    The structure of an organization is the process by which it positions people in such a way that all the necessary jobs of the organization can be performed to achieve its goals. An organization can adopt various structures in its development. A functional structure on an organization is a design that groups people on the basis of their common skills. As organizations increase in size, their products may begin to differ. This is where divisional structure begins to take shape. Here, the…

    PROTEIN STRUCTURE Proteins are polymers which is set up by 19 different α-amino acids and one imino acid (Proline) linked by amida bond or peptide bond. A protein usually contain amino acid residues, covalently linked, which spontaneously form a three-dimensional structure, based on the self-recognition of its respective sequence. Covalent bonds (peptide and disulfide), hydrogen bonds, electrostatic interactions, hydrophobic interactions, and weak, nonspecific attractive and repulsive forces are…
