Till this point we have discussed about structure and certain related issues of different types of proteins associated with the muscles. Lets now have a look at biochemical issues related to proteins as the structures are ultimately formed from biochemicals which through several important biochemical changes end up forming the structures which we see. Proteins are made of amino acids which can be hydrophobic as well as polar Polar amino acids act like pH buffers. Characteristics of a region of a protein are a function of amino acid composition.
Shape is a function of regional characteristics.
Disulfide bonds these can be easily broken or formed. The difference between association is the amount of energy it takes to remove the water. Free water removal requires little energy . Bound water removal is a difficult task. As bound water decreases a protein can move easily interact with another protein.
