Proteins have primary structure. If you are given a method to know which amino acid is at either of the two termini (ends) of a protein,
Yes, if we are given a method to know the sequence of proteins, we can connect this information to the purity of a protein. It is known that an accurate...

Find out and make a list of proteins used as therapeutic agents. Find other applications of proteins (e.g., cosmetics, etc.)
Proteins used as therapeutic agents are as follows: Thrombin and fibrinogen – They help in blood clotting. Antigen (antibody) – It helps in blood transfusion. Insulin – It helps in...

Attempt titrating an amino acid against a weak base and discover the number of dissociating (ionizable) functional groups in the amino acid.
Titrating a neutral or basic amino acid against a weak base will dissociate only one functional group, whereas titration between acidic amino acid and a weak acid will dissociate two...

Many proteins are secreted in their inactive form. This is also true of many toxic proteins produced by micro organisms.
Many proteins including certain toxins are secreted in their inactive form. They get activated, only when exposed to a specific trigger (pH. temperature etc.). It is advantageous to the bacteria...

What would happen if histones were to be mutated and made rich in amino acids aspartic
If histone proteins were rich in acidic amino acids instead of basic amino acids then they may not have any role in DNA packaging in eukaryotes as DNA is also...

There is only one possible sequence of amino acids when deduced from a given set of nucleotides.
Some amino acids are coded by more than one codon (known as degeneracy of codons), hence on deducing a nucleotide sequence from an amino acid sequence, multiple nucleotide sequence will...

Differentiate between fibrous proteins and globular proteins. What is meant by the denaturation of a protein?
Fibrous Proteins Globular Proteins 1. Consist of linear thread-like molecules which tend to lie side by side to form fibre like structure. 1. Polypeptide chain s folded, around itself forming almost spheroidal shape. 2. Insoluble...

Regulatory proteins are the accessory proteins that interact with RNA polymerase and affect its role in transcription.
d. They can act both as activators and as repressors
