A protein structure is solely determined by the sequence of amino acids in the
primary structure. Suppose that you were to genetically engineer a new protein by
keeping the exact same sequence, but it was completely reversed in the order of
amino acids compared to the original. Would the new protein have the same tertiary
structure as the original? Why?
What element atoms are protein made of?
Unlike carbohydrates and lipids, protein contain which element?
What types of food can you find protein in?
What is the monomer of a protein?
Draw the monomer of a protein
The structure of pepsin is shown below. This level of protein structure is known as
the
structure (name the level of structure).

- Describe the structural differences between DNA and RNA. The monomers in nucleic acids are called nucleotides. What are the three parts of a nucleotide? The compounds adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine are called the nucleic acid bases. What structural features in these compounds make them bases? DNA exhibits a double-helical structure. Explain. Describe how the complementary base pairing between the two individual strands of DNA forms the overall double-helical structure. How is complementary base pairing involved in the replication of the DNA molecule during cell division? Describe how protein synthesis occurs. What is a codon, and what is a gene? The deletion of a single base from a DNA molecule can constitute a fatal mutation, whereas substitution of one base for another is often not as serious a mutation. Explain.arrow_forwardAlthough RNA is single-stranded, the strand sometimes folds back on itself to give a complementary portion.
