My textbook’s explanation for spontaneous renaturation of defolded protein is this: “Although in defolded state protein has grater entropy, greater degree of disorder, it folds into original conformation (lower entropy), and this seems to be in collision with the II law of thermodynamics. But...

I need to write a summary paragraph on Protein Synthesis. So far, this is what I have written: The purpose of protein synthesis in gene expression is fundamental to who we are. DNA within a cell codes for protein synthesis. This protein synthesis is facilitated by messenger RNA strands...

If one had no way of eating any protein, but could eat carbohydrates and something which had nitrogen that wasn't a protein, could their body assemble proteins to use, or does that mechanism not exist?

Biochem help :(?? Hi :smile: I have seen great people on this forum, can anybody please help me with this question? Q- The majority of cellular proteins and RNA are synthesized throughout the cell cycle and are only interrupted briefly during M phase. Synthesis of which of the following...

Humans eat cows so we can grow (you need protein to grow). If cows are just eating grass all the time, how are they able to grow? Many people in third world countries are sick because they don't have enough protein in their diet. Cows don't eat meat at all but they don't have that problem...

Hand-to-Hand Model for Tropomyosin Fast Diffusion. Semiconductor Mechanism for Diffusion of Tightly-Binding Proteins: http://actomyosin.narod.ru/h2h-model.htm Would you be so kind as to recommend me some expert who could be interested in view a possible semiconductor mechanism for...
