3.1.4 Proteins Flashcards
There are …different amino acids that can be used to form polypeptides
20
A condensation reaction between 2 amino acids forms…
Dipeptide and water
A condensation reaction between …amino acids forms a dipeptide and water
2
A…reaction between 2 amino acids forms a dipeptide and water
Condensation
A dipeptide and 1 molecule of water are hydrolysed to form…
2 amino acids
Name for bond between 2 amino acids in dipeptide
Peptide bond
During the condensation of 2 amino acids to form a dipeptide and water a …bond is formed between the 2 amino acids
Peptide
H2N is known as the…group
Amine
True or false, when drawing an amino acid the H must always go on the top and the R must always go on the bottom
False
The R and H can go either way round
But the amine group (H2N) must always go on the left and the carboxylic acid (COOH) must always go on the right
The…group of the amino acid determines which amino acid it is
R
(The R group is variable as it can change but the rest of the amino acid never changes)
Which part of the amino acid is variable so can change
R group
(The R group determines which amino acid it is)
Dipeptides are formed by the condensation of…amino acids but polypeptides are formed by the condensation of many amino acids

When we call it a polypeptide vs protein
Polypeptide= 1 polypeptide chain
Protein= multiple polypeptide chains
Amylase is made up of only 1 polypeptide chain therefore it’s called a …(protein/ polypeptide)
Polypeptide
Haemoglobin is made up of 4 polypeptide chains so it’s called a …(protein/ polypeptide)
