The region of a protein that associates with a ligand, known as its binding site, usually consists of a _____ in the protein surface formed by a particular arrangement of amino acid side chains.
举一反三
- Covalent modifications added to a protein’s amino acid side chains can control the location and function of the protein and can serve as docking sites for other proteins.
- What about inserting a base into the coding region of a gene？ A: No impact B: It will change all amino acid sequences of the protein downstream of the insertion point C: Depending on the insertion point, it may have different effects on the protein D: An amino acid will be inserted into the protein sequence E: Three amino acids will be inserted into the protein sequence
- One can predict the amino acid sequence of a protein from the nucleotide sequence of its gene.
- Although the atoms buried in the interior of a protein have no direct contact with the ligand, they provide an essential scaffold that gives the surface its contours and chemical properties.
- The ___________________ of a protein is its unique sequence of amino acids.
