7.1 SG Flashcards
1
Q
Four Levels of protein structure?
A
Primary, Secondary, Tertiary, Quarteniary
2
Q
What happens during protein denaturation
A
Proteins change shape, this is not good as proteins may stop working
3
Q
What happens to hydrophobic interactions?
A
The hyrdrophobes go into the middle of the protein
4
Q
What happens to hydrophilic interactions?
A
they go to the outside of the protein
5
Q
Acidic / Basic
A
Come together
6
Q
Cysteine side chains
A
Attach to other proteins
7
Q
Why and how would the structure and function of a protein change if a hydrophobic amino acid was substituted for a hydrophilic one?
A
The protein could change shape because the hydrophilic one is going to be on the outside. It may not be able to perform as well
