3.2/3.3 Macromolecules Flashcards
List the 4 macromolecules
Proteins, Lipids, Carbs, Nucleic Acids.
What happens during protein denaturation
when its normal shape gets deformed because some of the hydrogen bonds are broken
What are the 4 protein structures
Primary, Secondary, Tertiary, Quaternary.
What are the 2 types of polypeptide chains in the secondary protein structure.
Beta pleated sheets and alpha helix
Why and how would the structure and function of a protein change if a hydrophobic amino acid was substituted for a hydrophilic one?
the hydrophobic amino acids would go on the inside and the hydrophilic ones would go on the outside making the protein change shape.
what bonds are in the primary protein structure.
hydrogen
what bonds are in the secondary protein structure.
non polar
what bonds are in the tertiary structure.
ionic bonds
what bonds are in the quaternary structure.
hydrogen bonds
What is the functions of Carbs
They store energy
