During protein digestion‚ a water molecule is added which breaks down the carbonyl-carbon-nitrogen sin the peptide bonds of proteins causing the liberation of amino acids. This process is referred to as proteolysis. Water molecules break down the carbonyl-carbon-nitrogen single bond (peptide bond) that holds single amino acid molecules together (Caroline Ritchie‚ 2013. This process is called hydrolysis and is catalysed by protease. The three main protease enzymes produced during digestion are pepsin

structure in which a pair of invariant histidine residues act as axial ligands to the haem iron. The reduction potential of gCYTb5-I is 165 mV vs. SHE and is relatively low compared to most values (110 to +80 mV) for this class of protein. The amino- and carboxy-terminal sequences that flank the central haembinding core of the Giardia cytochromes are highly charged and differ from those of other family members. A core gCYTb5-I variant lacking these flanking sequences was also able to bind haem

and heavy metal ions is because they are made up of proteins. The food we eat is turned into energy by enzymes and then this energy is unlocked for use in the body. Enzymes have a range of molecular weights from 12000 to more than 1 million. The amino acid side chains on some of the enzymes are only used for activity while cofactors utilize additional chemical components. Enzymes work best at body temperature and they also have to have the correct pH. A catalyst is any substance which makes a

Basic Problem: Jelly is made from protein‚ gelatin‚ this is dissolved in hot water and as it cools‚ it sets. For a childrens party it was decided to make some fruit jellies‚ these were made by putting sliced pineapple into the jelly before it set‚ the following observations were made: oThe jelly set normally when tinned pineapple was added. oWhen fresh‚ unripe pineapple was used the jelly set but was not as firm. oWhen fresh‚ ripe pineapple was used‚ the jelly did not set at all But why?

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the fundamental molecule of life encoding the genetic code for the development and functioning of every living organism and a large variety of viruses. RNA‚ proteins‚ and DNA are the main macromolecules‚ which are necessary for every form of life. The genetic system is encoded in the form of a sequence of nucleotides (guanine‚ adenine‚ thymine‚ and cytosine)‚ which are denoted by the letters G‚ A‚ T‚ and C. Most DNA molecules consist of double-stranded helices‚ composed

INTRODUCTION These polymers composed of amino acid monomers called proteins are important to our body. Protein is important because it composes parts of our body and assists in bodily functions. A type of protein named keratin makes up our hair and nails. Protein is used in your body to repair and build tissue‚ and it is a necessity in making hormones‚ enzymes‚ and other chemicals in the body. Many people use protein substances and supplements in correlation with weight lifting and working out to
