Question

part c
proteins can be visualized in many ways, each of which highlights a specific aspect of the protein.
drag the terms on the left to the appropriate blanks on the right to complete the sentences.

1. if you wanted to show the 3 - dimensional shape of a protein, including all of the atoms composing it, you should use a space - filling model .
2. if you wanted to show the general shape of a protein, along with some important functional details such as folds and coils, you should use a ribbon model .
3. if you wanted to show the 3 - dimensional shape of a protein, including the backbone structure, folds, and coils, you should use a simplified diagram .
4. if you wanted to show a generalized protein in which the focus is on the protein’s function rather than its structure, you should use a simple shape .
5. if you wanted to show the 3 - dimensional shape of a protein by showing the amino acid side chains and their interactions, you should use a wireframe model .

Explanation:

1. A space - filling model shows all atoms of a protein, so it's correct for sentence 1.
2. A ribbon model shows the general shape with folds/coils and functional details, so it's correct for sentence 2.
3. A simplified diagram shows the backbone, folds, and coils, so it's correct for sentence 3.
4. A simple shape is used when focusing on function over structure, so it's correct for sentence 4.
5. A wireframe model shows 3 - D shape with amino acid side chains and interactions, so it's correct for sentence 5.

Answer:

1. space - filling model
2. ribbon model
3. simplified diagram
4. simple shape
5. wireframe model
