7.1 Flashcards
Why and how would the structure and function of a protein change if a hydrophobic amino acid was substituted for a hydrophilic one?
it would change the protiens structure and function
Primary
linear structure, unique sequence of amino acids
Secondary
Coiled/pleated structure caused by regular H bonds
Tertiary
Folding of proteins with interactions with R groups of a polypeptide
Quaternary
More than one polypeptide chain bonded together
Acidic and basic
attract to eachother because of their opposite charges
Cysteine
forms covalent bdisulfide bonds
Hydrophillic
Folds to the outside
Hydrophbic
Folds to the inside
What elements can be found in a protien?
O, N, C, S, H
Whats Denaturation?
Unfolding of a protien
Why does Denaturation happen?
1.Heat (temp)
2. PH
3. Salinity
