Elastin is an important protein in the extracellular matrix. It is elastic and hence present in connective tissue hence enables tissues and the skin to stretch and regain their shape.

Elastin is composed of soluble tropoelastin proteins made up of mainly glycine, valine, and poline or alanine residues. The precursor of elastin is tropoelastin. Tropoelastin is derived from fibroblasts, smooth muscle cells, chondrocytes, or endothelial cells before it is processed to elastin by cleavage of its signal peptide. Elastin monomers are crosslinked during the formation of desmosine molecules

The protein has a b-sheet domain and other secondary structures (a-helices and (b turns) along with Pro and Ala repetitions.

Does 2GB1 have quaternary structure? Why or why not?

2GB1 have quaternary structureThis is due to the fact that they are made up of multiple polypeptide known as subunits. The subunits come collectively to protein its quaternary structure.

3.2 Briefly explain the four levels of protein structure. In your answer refer to a protein haemoglobin and catabolite gene activator protein where applicable.

The four levels of protein structure are primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary.Specific order of amino acid linked by peptide bond forms a primary structure.Polypeptides bend and fold to form a three-dimensional shape...

at whish level (secondary or primary) protein becomes functional?

Protein becomes functional when it folds into three-dimensional (tertiary structure) form. Primary structure is the sequence of amino acid residues. Secondary structure refers to particularly stable arrangements of amino acid...

Explain why a tertiary carbocation is more stable than secondary carbocation which in turn, is more stable than a primary carbocation

All carbocations carry a positive charge on a carbon atom.In a primary (1) carbocation, the carbon which carries the positive charge is only attached to one other alkyl group R...

explain why a tertiary carbocation is more stable than secondary carbocation which in turn is more stable than a primary carbocation

The more a charge is dispersed, the more stable is a carbocation. In a tertiary carbocation, the positively charged carbon atom attracts the bonding electrons in the three carbon-carbon bonds, and...
