B1.2 Molecules Flashcards
1
Q
Secondary protein structure
A
Formed by interactions between hydrogen bonds and amino acids; Alpha helix structure (spiral/coil) or Beta sheet structure (pleated sheet)
2
Q
Tertiary structure
A
Formed after being produced by translation, stabilized by interactions between R-groups; 3D folded structure (globular)
3
Q
Quaternary structure
A
Formed by interactions/linking of 2+ polypeptide chains; similar structure as tertiary, except with multiple chains
4
Q
R-Groups
A
Hydrophilic or non-polar
