Is anyone here amazing at biology?

I need to know how a specific sequence of amino acids determines its 3 dimensional structure. :wreck:

also I need to know why pectinase does not hydrolyse the cellulose found in orange peel walls.

:thinking:

Experiment.

:thinking:

 

for the first part, it's that there are gazillions of amino acid combinations, which result in different structures of proteins...i think :confused: not sure bout the orange tho :lol:

:stunned: i say try google.

My biology knowledge is kind of basic, compared to that question. :laugh4:

We just finished enzymes and food and that wasn't on the course.

I should know.

 

But I don't :disappointed:

and...urm...different proteins and combinations do different things, and the things that they do are affected by the structure...:shrug:

Amino acids in our book it's represented by triangle, squares and circles.

:P that doesn't help anyone.

That's just rewording the question :lol:

I won't be able to get away with that :P

Yeah we're doing DNA, RNA and enzymes atm... are you doing AS Biology? :wacko:

 

I should know.

 

But I don't :disappointed:

:whip:

 

 

 

 

:laugh3: Thanks for trying to help :P

This is what I've come up with so far...

 

Having a different 3D structure means that the acid will have a different shaped active site.

If the substrate shape doesn't fit the active site, the reaction won't be catalysed.

 

Sound about right? :thinking:

"twenty different amino acids are found in proteins, some are polar, some are nonpolar...some are electrically charged blablabla

 

PROTEINS FOLD INTO COMPACT SHAPES DETERMINED IN PART BY HOW THE PROTEINS AMINO ACIDS INTERACT WITH WATER AND ONE ANOTHER" :shrug:

actually what you have sounds right :wacko:

"twenty different amino acids are found in proteins, some are polar, some are nonpolar...some are electrically charged blablabla

I'm gonna write that last bit on there as well :wacko:

Well researched Pickle :cool:

Don't forget "induced fit"

Yeah we're doing DNA, RNA and enzymes atm... are you doing AS Biology? :wacky:

 

 

 

That's A levels, yes? :confused:

If so then yes :laugh4:

It's quite easy so far,

I'm kind of scared now of what going to come up. :laugh4:

 

if no, ignore that :P

Biology book :cool4:

 

^in my biology class, all we ever talk about is sex :confused: even if that's not what we're learning about :lol: xD

Don't forget "induced fit"

 

I'm gonna mention "Lock and Key" instead :P

 

That's A levels, yes? :confused:

If so then yes :laugh4:

Yup I'm doing first year AS level (aka A level) Biology :P

It's OK I suppose, some of the concepts are quite hard to understand at first.

But I like learning about this kind of thing... :D

I think the course I'm doing is Salters' Nuffield :confused:

Not entirely sure what that means or if it'll mean anything to you. :lol:

The topic in my English Lan class always seems to turn to sex :confused:

Like on friday we were analysing an article called "Where did my sex kitten go?"

:lol:

And then we tryed to think of other animals which the word sex could go infront...

sex rhino? No...

sex monkey? Maybe not....

I'm very good at biology when i study, 100%'s. But it's very easy at the moment.

:smug: I'm also great at making Alcohol.

:laugh4:

I think Bology is a very easy subject to understand.

Those are surely going to come up on my course over the next two years.

Because the Leaving Cert in ireland is supposed to be Harder than Alevels.D:

But half of our whole leaving cert course seems useless.

i suck at bio but i like it :lol:

Lock and Key is wrong though, that's the simplistic version.

I've never even completely figure out what A levels even are... some sort of test, right?

Lock and Key is wrong though, that's the simplistic version.

Our teacher never thought us that lock and key thing

saying that it was basically wrong,

and it would save time to just learn the more complex enzyme workings instead.

Yeah exactly, it's just to help people understand how it works

 

I should be doing my Biology assignment instead of talking about enzymes on a forum...

Lab rats? :wtf:

Yawn

Williamite, how many cells are there in a rat's body?

and do you know a Eddie Murphy movie in which he's an obese dude and when he's working on how to make himself a 'fit', he used a lab rat for his study and the rat became obese :dead:
