What are the different types of proteins and their functions


Asked by admin @ in Biology viewed by 322 People


Describe at least three different functions of proteins and explain how the shape of a protein affects its function.

Answered by admin @



Here are three different functions of proteins:
-Enzymes (biological catalysts).
-Protein based hormones.
-Active transport proteins in the cell membrane.

The shape of a protein determines the specificity of a proteins role (e.g. the 3D nature of enzymes determine what type of reaction they can catalyse).
