Proteins are biomolecules composed of alpha- amino acids. An alpha-amino acid has a general formula R-underset(underset(NH_(2))(|))(C)-COOH. The amino acids polymerise and form an amide linkage (peptide linkage) between two monomeric amino acid units. The polymerisation takes place as follows H_(2)N-overset(overset(R_(1))(|))(CH)-underset(underset(O)(||))(C)-OH+H- underset(darr underset((-2H_(2)O))("Polymerisation"))(HN-overset(overset(R_(2))(|))(CH)-underset(underset(O)(||))(C))-OH+H-NH- overset(overset(R_(3))(|))(CH)-underset(underset(O)(||))(C)-OH Two or more similar amino acids can also polymerise, for example a dimer will be like. H_(2)N- overset(overset(R)(||))(CH)-underset(underset(O)(||))(C)-NH-overset(overset(R)(||))(CH)-underset(underset(O)(||))(C)-OH.

Protein found in a biological system with a unique three - dimensional structure and biological activity is called a native protein. When a protein in its native form , is subjecteed to a physical change like change in temperature or a chemical change like , change in p H , denaturation of protein takes place. Explain the cause.

Answer»

Solution :Due to a physical or a chemical change , H-bonds in proteins are broken , globules unfold and helices GET uncoiled to form a THREAD LIKE molecuole. As a result , secondary and tertiary STRUCTURES are destroyed and the protein loses its biological activity. This process is called DENATURATION of proteins.
