Proteins

Structure of Proteins

Proteins are composed of polypeptides which are produced from amino acid chains, the polymer’s monomeric units. A specific amino acid molecule is often recognised as a residue, which denotes a functional group of small molecules arranged, a repeating unit.  Proteins are the outcome of the decryption stage, which commences with details in DNA synthesis.

Structure of Proteins

Introduction All proteins comprise long chains of ⍺-amino acids (alpha-amino acids). Amino acids are organic compounds and form the building components for the living system necessary for the growth and development of human beings. About 300 amino acids occur in nature. The key elements of amino acids consist of carbon (C), hydrogen (H), oxygen (O),

Proteins Structure

Introduction Egg whites include huge amounts of proteins known as albumins, and albumins typically have a distinct three-dimensional shape as a result of the formation of links between different amino acids in the protein. As a result of the heating, these connections are broken, exposing hydrophobic (water-hating) amino acids that were previously hidden on the

Preparation and Properties of Colloids – Tyndall Effect

Introduction A sol in which the size of solute particles is halfway between those in evident arrangement and suspension is called Colloids. Just, colloids are the combinations where one substance is parted into minute particles which are scattered all through a subsequent substance. for example Cleanser arrangement, milk, blood, and so forth are a portion

Permanent Tissues

Permanent tissues are groups of similar cells that have lost the capability to differentiate; that is, in simpler words, cells of permanent tissues have taken up a particular shape and size through a process known as differentiation. Cells of permanent tissue cannot divide or differentiate. Permanent tissues are formed from meristematic tissues and in the

Multimolecular, Macromolecular and Associated Colloids (Micelles)

The molecule is the smallest unit of a substance that can retain its physical characteristics. It is made of two or more atoms held together by chemical bonds. The diameter of a molecule is less than 10 Ao (10-6 nm). For Example, 5H2O is 5 molecules of water, Cl2 is 1 molecule of chlorine. Multimolecular

Macromolecule

A big organic molecule, such as carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids, that has a specific shape and function are called macromolecules. As a result of their enormous size, macromolecules are composed of more than 10,000 or even more atoms. Macromolecules are polar in nature, with their heads and tails having distinct physical and chemical
