Based on the UCP1 protein structure and the figure above, what are the likely chemical properties of the amino acids that are found inside the transmembrane domains of UCP1, and that are oriented towards the passing H+ (i.e., inside of the channel's opening)? Question 13 options: a) They are hydrophobic/polar b) They are hydrophobic/non-polar c) They are hydrophilic/polar d) They are hydrophilic/non-polar e) None of the above
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.
