BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -Complete answer: 1)Protein shape is critical to its function as it predicts that a protein can interact with other molecules or not and there is complexity in the structures of protein and to determine if there are four levels of protein structure that is primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary.

Detailed explanation-2: -The shape of a protein is critical to its function because it determines whether the protein can interact with other molecules. Protein structures are very complex, and researchers have only very recently been able to easily and quickly determine the structure of complete proteins down to the atomic level.

Detailed explanation-3: -The shape of an enzyme is very important because it has a direct effect on how it catalyzes a reaction. An enzyme’s shape is determined by the sequence of amino acids in its structure, and the bonds which form between the atoms of those molecules.

Detailed explanation-4: -The shape (structure) of a protein determines its function. For example, there are two basic shapes for proteins: fibrous and globular (round). Fibrous proteins, such as collagen (Figure 18.1), are shaped like a rope and give strength to our skin to prevent it from tearing.

Detailed explanation-5: -A molecule’s shape is critical to its function in biology. In this lesson we learned about three clear-cut examples of this. If an enzyme is not folded properly, it cannot perform its role. Enzymes are molecules that help speed up biochemical reactions.
