The function of each protein is a consequence of its specific shape. What is the term used for a change in a proteins shape or conformation due to disruption of hydrogen bonds, disulfide bridges or ionic bonds?
Denaturation
Research indicates that Albuterol, a drug used to relax bronchial muscles, improving airflow and thus offering relief from asthma, consists only of one enantiometer, the R-form. Why is it important for this drug to consist of only one enantiomeric form rather than a mixture of enantiometers?
Different enantiomers may have different or opposite physiological effects
