5.) If a mutation in an organism's DNA causes the resulting protein to possess a glutamine instead of a glycine in the 13th position, what level(s) of the resulting protein's structure would potentially be affected? Why?
Proteins
We generally tend to think of proteins only from a dietary lens, as a component of what we eat. However, they are among the most important and abundant organic macromolecules in the human body, with diverse structures and functions. Every cell contains thousands and thousands of proteins, each with specific functions. Some help in the formation of cellular membrane or walls, some help the cell to move, others act as messages or signals and flow seamlessly from one cell to another, carrying information.
Protein Expression
The method by which living organisms synthesize proteins and further modify and regulate them is called protein expression. Protein expression plays a significant role in several types of research and is highly utilized in molecular biology, biochemistry, and protein research laboratories.
Introduction :
Peptide bonds are made when amino acids condense to form protein structures. The primary structure of a protein is its sequence of amino acids. The dihedral angles of the peptide bonds determine the secondary structure, while the folding of protein chains in space determines the tertiary structure.
