Comparison of a homeodomain (functional region) of GAPDH from Human and Mouse shows that only 22 of 80 amino acids are identical. However, the function of each of the resulting proteins is identical. How is it possible for a protein to change over 72% still have the same function? Explain your answer.
Homework Answers
The functioning of the protein depends on the folding of the protein which gives the protein its 3 dimensional structure.The primary structure of the protein determined by its amino acid sequence helps in the folding and intramolecular bonding of the linear amino acid chain that goes on to determine the protein's unique three-dimensional shape and structure and its proper functioning.In this case, even if the protein changes to over 72% ,it still has the same function in human and mouse as the 22 aminoacids that are identical would be moslty responsible for the proteins's three dimensional structure and hence its functioning

Consider an important protein like beta-galactosidase, which breaks down lactose. Many bacterial species have beta-galactosidase. But that doesn't mean that the amino acid sequence of beta- galactosidase in all those bacterial species is exactly the same. Far from it. As bacteria diversified into different species over evolutionary time, beta-galactosidase encoded in the genomes of the bacteria also diversified. However, we can assume that even though beta-galactosidase diversified, it was under pressure to maintain structure and function, because the reaction it...

A membrane consisting only of phospholipids undergoes a sharp transition from the crystalline form to the fluid form as it is heated. However, a membrane containing and 80% phospholipid and 20% cholesterol undergoes a more gradual change from crystalline to fluid form when heated over the same temperature range. Explain why.

What are the three functional groups that comprise a nucleotide? What do nucleotides have in common with amino acids or simple sugars? When the structure of DNA was first elucidated, many biologists quickly saw how this structure explained the passage of information from one generation to another. How does the structure of DNA explain generation-to-generation flow of information? In other words, give a brief description of the structure of DNA and tell how this structure allows for replication. Which of...
