Title: Proteins and Proteomics
Post by: charlieanne on January 24, 2014, 12:51:25 pm
Hi,

I've searched and can't find anything, if anyone knows sites to find this info or knows it could you please tell me!

Thanks

10. What are the different ways in which the 3-D
structure of a protein molecule can be shown?

11. What must be kept in mind when viewing the 3-D
structure of a protein?

12. What is the advantage of increasing our knowledge of
the proteome of an organism?

Hi Charlieanne

10: 3D imaging software that displays the Quaternary structure of the protein.
       A 3D model.

11: Well you must keep in mind all the different types of structures that a protein can have, such as hydrogen bonds, ionic bonds, Covalent bonds and possible hydrophobic Interactions.
All these factors could effect The structure of the Protein, this is because these bonds can change under different conditions, its these changes that could change the structure of the protein.

12: it enables us to fully understand how a wide range of proteins could effect the organism in positive and negative ways and increasing our knowledge of the different proteins in an organism only increases our understanding.

(first time answering question's i don't know if i'm 100% correct at all)

Awesome that will help, did you know that or find it somewhere?

I can't find any websites with this info....I'm probable just a bad looker

i knew some of it, and i found some of the other info in chapter 1 of nature of biology year 12.

ps: if you are using that text book on pg:23 there is a tiny section on Proteomes but its a bit basic so a little improvisation was needed.

10. There are various models. There's stick, ball and stick and some other ones whose names I can't remember. If you download CN3D you can download protein structures from an international database for free and have a play. It also has the names of the various models.

11. That's a broad question and bullshit really. Don't bother with it.

12. This is something you should know. There are a hell of a lot more proteins than genes, so by identifying individual proteins, you get a better look at the working environment of a cell. After all, proteins are essentially what makes the cell run.

This is VCE? :O

Never come across this, and it seems like Unit 3 stuff.

Yup my school gave us a worksheet on proteins and proteomics for holiday homework

Yeah its on the study design so we will need to know all about ''the nature of the proteome; the functional diverstisty of proteins;'' for the exams

I don't see how Question 11 meets this criteria but Question 12 is good.

i wasn't  talking about question 11, i was mainly responding to Tyleralp1.

but yeah question 11 is silly


Edit: Sorry i should of made it clearer who i was talking to.

So what exactly do we need to know about the proteome and proteomics? The SD is vague as always...

What it is, and that's it I think
