How do peptide bonds, polypeptides, and polypeptide chains relate to amino acids? Amino Acids: Amino acids are small molecules that contain functional groups including an amino group and a carboxylic acid group (hence the name). These are used as monomers to build larger molecules...
How do peptide bonds, polypeptides, and polypeptide chains relate to amino acids? Explain the need for varied amino acids in the protein we consume. Explain why proteins "fold" after they are produced. How does the protein microenvironment influence the pk_a of amino residues...
The 2nd and 4th terms are proportional the respective numbers of amino acids in the polypeptides of the partially unfolded MHC α1α2–α3 joint (\({n}_{{{\rm{p}}},{{{\rm{MHC}}}\)) and TCR Vα–Cα joint (\({n}_{{{\rm{p}}},{{{\rm{TCR}}}\)), which can be combin...
Why is it important to understand the chemical properties of amino acid side chains in order to understand protein structure and function? Briefly explain the 20 known amino acids. How do Hsp70-like proteins affect existing interactions between proteins? How do peptide bonds, polypeptides, and poly...
How do peptide bonds, polypeptides, and polypeptide chains relate to amino acids? Why is it necessary for polysaccharides, such as starch or cellulose, to be digested outside of the cell even though disaccharides, such as lactose or sucrose, are digestible inside the cell?
How do quality control mechanisms act to prevent the synthesis of damaged proteins? How can you disrupt the different biological functions of proteins? (i) Met, Ser, Leu [{Blank}] (ii) Ile, Ser, Phe [{Blank}] For the above polypeptides, explain why changing (i) to (...
How do they relate to the protein itself and to the gene from which the protein is translated? How are DNA, RNA, and proteins related in the cell? How can a DNA or protein alignment be used in species analysis? What are some ways that eukaryotic gene expression can be regulated? What ...
nucleic acids The building blocks of carbohydrates are: a. polypeptides. b. amino acids. c. nucleotides. d. monosaccharides. Which of the following are examples of catabolism? a. Structural proteins are assembled to provide support to a cell....
In translation, information contained within a molecule of messenger RNA (mRNA; synthesized during the process of transcription) is used to make a protein. The sequence of nucleotides in mRNA determines the sequence of amino acids in the protein....
In eukaryotic cells, can many ribosomes make polypeptides from a single RNA? How did RNA and DNA end up together in living things? How do the proteins of the transcription machinery access DNA that is tightly associated in chromatin? How is RNA converted into cDNA? How can DNA be transcribe...
