Describe the peptide bone resonance structure

A

CN bond is shorter and is a double with the N +

CO is a single and the O is -

25
Q

Which bond in AA is especially rigid?

A

CN

26
Q

Describe the primary structure

A

Sequence of AA, main force is hydrophobic

27
Q

Describe the secondary structure

A

HB into alpha helix or beta pleated

28
Q

Describe the tertiary structure

A

The chain folds upon itself, philic, phobic, ionic, disulphide etc due to side chain interactions

29
Q

Describe the special properties of cysteine (4)

A

Is a very reactive group
Strong reducing agent
Forms strong covalent bonds
Easily oxidised to form a dimer

30
Q

Describe the hydrogen bond

A

Strongest idid

OH, NH, F

31
Q

Where does the hydrogen bond form

A

Between the amino group and the double bonded oxygen at every 4th peptide

32
Q

Where do side chains lie in the beta pleat?

A

Above and below the plane sheet

33
Q

Name the 2 types of beta pleat

A

Antiparallel (S shaped) and parallel (dome over the top)

34
Q

If a protein has lots of beta pleats what does this indicate?

A

45
Q

Examples of type 3 collagen

A

46
Q

What happens in scurvy?

A

Unstable collagen so you bruise easy, old wounds reopen, gums bleed, bad healing and GI bleeds
