7.1 Study Guide Flashcards
Cutting and joining the molecules of life
Enymes
Getting back and forth across the membrane
Pumps, channels, receptors
Engaging in constant battle in the bloodstream
Antibodies
Supporting and moving cells
Infrastructure
Carrying molecular messages through the blood
Hormones
Tertiary structure (hydrophobic interaction)
Fold into middle of protein
Tertiary structure (hydrophillic interaction)
Fold towards outside of protein
Tertiary structure (acidic and basic interaction)
Attract to each other due to opposite charges (ionic bond)
Tertiary structure (cysteine interaction)
Forms covalent disulfide bonds
A small organic compound having an amino group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydrogen atom, and an R group
Amino acid
A coiled or pleated pattern of protein structure caused by regular intervals of H bonds
Secondary structure
Hemoglobin, a globular protein of four chains is an example a protein with this
Quaternary structure
Folding of protein through interactions among R groups of a polypeptide chain
Tertiary structure
Type of covalent bond linking one amino acid with another
Peptide bond
Breaking weak bonds in large molecules (such as proteins) to change it shape so it no longer functions
