In this article we will discuss about the tests for detection of proteins and amino acids in plants with the help of experiments. Proteins and other elated nitrogenous compounds are the principle constituents of protoplasm and are directly involved in all the physiological processes taking place in the living cells. Proteins of all kinds are synthesized from amino acids, which [...]
In this article we will discuss about the molecular structure of proteins with the help of diagrams. Quantitatively, proteins are the chief organic components of most living organisms, as also of viruses. About 50% of the dry weight of bacterial cells is protein. The flagella, pili and fimbriae are made up entirely of proteins, and the cell membrane, cytoplasm, ribosomes [...]
In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Meaning of Proteins 2. Properties of Proteins 3. Reaction 4. Types. Meaning of Proteins: Proteins are large-sized heteropolymeric macromolecules having one or more polypeptides (chains of amino acids). The term polypeptide is often used interchangeably with protein. However, a single polypeptide must be at least 50 amino acid long in order to [...]
