Changes in these electrolytes can not only cause painful hand cramping due to muscle spasm but can also be life-threatening in certain situations. Electrolyte imbalances can be caused by several conditions including but not limited to: kidney disease; severe dehydration; prolonged vomiting from bulimia, pregnancy, or other causes; excessive heat
Protein structure is the biomolecular structure of a protein molecule. Proteins are polymers â specifically polypeptides â formed from sequences of monomer amino acids.
A monomer (/ËmÉnÉmÉr/ MON-É-mÉr) (mono- , one + -mer, part) is a molecule that may bind chemically to other molecules to form a polymer.The term monomeric protein may also be used to describe one of the proteins making up a multiprotein complex.atural monomers [edit]. Amino acids are natural monomers that polymerize at ribosomes to form proteins. Nucleotides, monomers found in the cell nucleus, polymerize to form nucleic acids â DNA and RNA. Glucose monomers can polymerize to form starches, glycogen or cellulose; xylose monomers can polymerise to form xylan.
