3.3 Molecules Study Guide Flashcards
proteins
most structurally & functionally diverese
proteins
macromolecules group
Funtion of a protein
-Storage
-Movement
-transport
-identification
-defense
-chemical reactions
-structure keratin
-communication
Side chain
“R Group”
Proteins function depends
protein structures
Primary 1 Structure
Order of amino acids in chain
-sequence dterined by gene
-amino acid sequence determines final shape
-covalent bonds formed via dehydration synthesis
peptide bond
polypeptide
Secondary 2 Structures
-small sectionof folding can be seen in all polypeptides
-it bond between carboxyl nand amines of amino acids
-proteins have a combiination of a helix
b-pleated sheet
Tertiary 3 Structures
-Final 3D shape of a single polypeptides
-interactions between side chains of amino acids
opposite charges attract
acidic negative basic positive
cysteines- form covalent
hydrophillic towards outside
Protein Denaturation
unfolding a protein
-conditions that disrupt H bonds & ionic bonds
-temperature
-pH
-salinity
-destroys functionality
Quaternary 4 Structure
-more than one polypeptide chain bonded together
-mostly held by hydrogen bond
