∙ 15y agoProteins catalyze chemical reactions by bringing them together in the right orientation and helping them react together. If they have the wrong shape they cannot do this. This is because with the wrong shape, the pieces will not fit together properly.

What does you body use proteins for?
The function of proteins depends on the shape and sequence of amino acids. By niagaraclayton
All cells contain genetic material for directing their activities?
yes. it even goes more molecular than that. all proteins inside the cell contain genetic material that "tell them" what to do. though for proteins the DNA codes for their shape and what they do is based on that shape. just remember shape fits function
How does protein confirmation affect its function?
The shape, conformation, affect its function by determining what the shape is some proteins are long and fibrous : those form hair and form blood clots ... Some are globular and can function as enzymes which transport oxygen. The shape of a protein affects the function !
A proteins natural shape and function is solely determined by the?
the answer is the order of the amino acids in the chain gudluck
What is the effect of temperature on protein shape and give an example?
In most cases, extremes of temperature denature (alter the 3D structure of) proteins. In biological systems that denaturing temperature may be fairly mild. Another term for protein denaturing is coagulation which is what happens to the proteins of a boiled egg.
What are two protein classes based on structure and function in the body?
The two protein classes based on structure and function in the body are enzymes and mechanical proteins. The enzymes will speed up reactions in the body while the mechanical proteins are to help in repairing the muscles in the body.
Does the Specific Shape Of A Protein Determines Its Function?
Yes! The structure of the protein is basically its shape and is one of the major things which determine how it can interact with other proteins.
What is the proses of denaturing?
Heat and some chemicals can cause functional molecules, such as proteins to change shape and thus loose their function. Such molecules that have had their shape changed are called denatured.
Process causing protein shape to change in response to heat?
Denaturation- The change in shape of proteins and loss of their function when exposed to heat, acids, bases, and/or heavy metals
Once assemble What is the key to a proteins unique function?
Much of a proteins function is based on its 3 dimensional structure. How the Amino acids interact with eachother. Examples of 3 dimension structure are Alpha helix, and beta sheets. this is bull that is not it.
How is a cell's shape and size related to it's function?
A cell shape is how it look, what shape it's in. While as a cells function is what it does for the plant or animal. For example a cells function could be to make proteins necessary for the body.
What is the function of the gel electrophoresis?
Gel electrophoresis is an analytical method used to separate DNA, RNA or proteins based on size
