Amino acid Flashcards
Desc primary structure of proteins
The unique sequence of amino acid that make up protein or polypeptide chain
Desc secondary structure of proteins
after synthesis polypeptide chains are folded into different shapes
eg. alpha helices and beta pleated sheets
Desc tertiary structure of proteins
Alpha helices and beta sheets held together by weak interactions
it is the final 3D structure of protein related to shaping of secondary structure
What held secondary structure of protein together
hydrogen bonds
polypeptides are formed by?
more than 2 amino acid
2 amino acid form?
di-peptide
protein are made up of?
polypeptide which are amino acid join with peptide bonds
tertiary structure are held by which 4 bonds?
Disulphide bonds
Ionic bonds
Hydrogen bonds
Hydrophobic and hydrophilic interaction
Disulphide bonds
2 cysteine found tgt
sulphur double bond (S=S) in cysteine monomers
Ionic bond
Bonding between 2 opposite charge R groups close to each other
Hydrogen bonds
bonding between oxygen of amino acid and hydrogen of another amino acid
Hydrophobic and hydrophilic interactions
form by amino acid with non polar side chains cluster in the core of protein
Denaturation occur due to?
Physical agents: Heat, violent shaking, x-ray, UV radiation
Chemical agents: Acids, alkalies, organic solvents (ether, alcohol), urea
structure of protein sequence are affected by?
amino acid sequence
