Why do they boil the proteins in western blot test?

Proteins are boiled to denature the proteins. Proteins are made of polypeptide chains, and are tightly folded into a three-dimensional shape within your cells. For a western blot, the protein must be denatured out of its folded shape so that it is only a long polypeptide chain.


Why polypeptide chains are always called as protein but Proteins are not always polypeptide chains?

Peptides (from the Greek πεπτίδια, "small digestibles") are short polymers formed from the linking, in a defined order, of α-amino acids. The link between one amino acid residue and the next is known as an amide bond or a peptide bond. Proteins are polypeptide molecules (or consist of multiple polypeptide subunits). The distinction is that peptides are short and polypeptides/proteins are long.


What determines the three-dimensional shape of enzymes?

Ultimately, the unique sequence of amino acids making up the primary polypeptide chain. The R group interactions give the protein it's tertiary shape.
