Both proteins and nucleic acids (like DNA and RNA) can be denatured with heat.
Explain why this happens for both types of molecule and what is happening during
the heat-driven denaturing process. A complete answer should discuss
thermodynamic considerations such as entropy and enthalpy.
The structure of pepsin is shown below. This level of protein structure is known as
the
structure (name the level of structure).
PDB: 1UH7
The molar mass of cellulose is approximately 6.0 x 105 g/mol and the molar mass of a soluble starch is on the order of 4.0 x 103 g/mol. The monomer unit in both of these molecules has the empirical formula C6H10O5. The units are about 5.0 x 10-10 m long. About how many units occur in each molecule, and how long are the molecules of cellulose and starch as a result?

The single most important contribution to the stability of a water soluble globular protein's conformation appears to be the sum of free energies of formation of many weak interactions among the hundreds of amino acids in a protein. entropy increase from the decrease in the number of ordered water molecules forming a solvent shell around the unfolded protein. sum of free energies of formation of many weak interactions between a protein's polar amino acids and surrounding water. maximum enthalpy increase from ionic interactions between the ionized amino acids in a protein. stabilizing effect of hydrogen bonding in a protein between the carbonyl group of one peptide bond and the amino group of anotherarrow_forwardYou ask the individual if they are taking any non-prescription drugs.
