    AP Bio Ras Protein Paper The Ras proteins are a family of proteins that belong to a class of proteins called the small GTPase’s. They belong to a large super-family of proteins known as "low-molecular weight G-proteins". They are used to transmit signals throughout a cell using transduction. They strengthen the signals conveyed by linking them to a chemically irreversible process such as the cleavage of GTP. Ras proteins are usually in the “off” state where the GDP is bound to the site. However

    A protein is a Biological polymer made up of as different amino acids joined by peptide bonds. A protein is formed by amino acids which are the basic building block of a protein components of an amino acid include a :C-carbon atom‚ H-Hydrogen atom‚ H3N+ - Amino Group‚ COOH- - Carboxyl Group‚ R- this group varies from amino acid to amino acid. There are 20 amino acids‚ each differing in its R group. Two examples are: Glycine‚ its R group being H(Hydrogen) and Phenylalanine its R group being CH2 (Carbon

    Evolutionary psychologists believe that aggression is linked through genes and has been maintained biologically as people have adapted to the changing physical and social demands of the environment. In the past‚ males that found other mates desirable found it necessary to compete with other males. The most successful male was the most aggressive. This aggressive behaviour made sure that the fittest males survived and were more successful in securing mates and passing on their genetic fitness to their

    Proteins are also essential nutrients for the human body. They are important in body tissue‚ and can also serve as a fuel source. Every cell in the human body contains protein. The basic structure of protein is a chain of amino acids. We need protein in our diet to help our body to repair cells and make new ones. The human body needs a lot of amino acids to maintain good health. Protein is also important for growth and development in children‚ teens‚ and pregnant women. Proteins are polymer chains

    Case Study: Newsflash! Transport Proteins on Strike! 1. What is the meaning behind the PHOSPHOLIPIDS’ chant? Phospholipids make up most of the cell membrane‚ in a phospholipid bilayer. Phospholipid molecules form two layers‚ with the hydrophilic (water loving) head facing the extracellular fluid and the cytosol (intracellular) fluid‚ and the hydrophobic (not water loving) tails facing one another. The cell membrane is constructed in such a way that it is semipermeable‚ and allows oxygen
