Bio quiz nucleic acids, protiens Flashcards
polypeptide
many amino acid chains, 100s to 1000s
unique sequence
denaturation
proteins unravelling, losing shape
Primary structure
unique sequence of aminos
determined by inherited genetic makeup
linear
secondary structure
parts of polypeptide either coil or fold into local patterns
coil- alpha helix
fold- beta sheet
based only on hydrogen bonding of polypeptide backbone
tertiary structure
formed 3d shape of protein
fully determines structure and function based on R groups of amino acids
quartiary structure
two or more polypeptides folded into macromolecule
Nucleic acids
determine primary structure of protiens
genes
unit of inheritance that controls amino acid sequence in polypeptide
2 nucleic acids
DNA
RNA
monomer unit for nucleic acids
nucleotides
3 parts of nucleotides
phosphate group
s- carbon sugar
nitrogenous base
Nitrogenous bases
Cytosese, guamine, adanine, thyamine, uracil
DNA-
RNA-
-CGAT
-CGAU
double helix
two polypeptides woven around eachother
