Summary Introduction
Introduction: Collagen is the structural protein that forms large fibers that give the extracellular matrix its strength and elasticity. An important function of collagen is to provide tensile strength. Tensile strength is a measure of how much stretching force a material can bear without tearing apart. It is defined as the ability of a material to withstand stress before breaking.

- Much of procollagen formation occurs in the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus which requires signal peptide. All of the following statements about targeting a protein for the ER are true except A. signal peptide usually has a positively charged N-terminus and a stretch of hydrophobic amino acids. B. signal peptide emerging from a free ribosome binds signal recognition particle (SRP). C. signal peptide is usually cleaved from the protein before the protein is inserted into the ER membrane. D. docking protein is actually an SRP receptor and serves to bind the SRP to the ER. E. SRP and docking protein do not enter the ER lumen but are recycled.arrow_forwardInside of skeletal muscle cells are voltage-controlled calcium ion (Ca2+) gate proteins. These are integral for the contraction mechanisms of skeletal muscle. A picture of them is shown below. These are regulated by voltage, as indicated above. How would voltage serve to open or close these gates? Voltage is a component of hydrogen bonds, which is necessary to maintain the secondary structure of the protein; without voltage, the protein starts to chemically degrade. Voltage actually does not serve as the direct mechanism of opening or closing gated proteins. Changing the voltage changes whether the R groups are charged or not, which alters the actual primary structure of the protein Changing voltage changes the nature of the tertiary structure, causing the protein to change its shape to open or close.arrow_forward34.
