Generally the Proteins of Thermophiles

Question

Generally the proteins of thermophiles
A)resist denaturation.
B)react more efficiently with DNA.
C)are easily denatured.
D)have a particular amino acid sequence that restricts bond formation.
E)are easily denatured AND have a particular amino acid sequence that restricts bond formation.

Accepted Answer

Proteins of thermophiles are adapted to high temperatures and resist denaturation or structural change under these extreme conditions. This is achieved by having stable bonds and interactions between amino acid residues, as well as a higher percentage of secondary and tertiary structure.
