CC Proteins Flashcards
Formed by carboxyl (-COOH) group of one AA links to amino group (NH2) of another AA with the loss of H2O molecule
PEPTIDE BOND
End of protein w/ free amino group
N-TERMINAL
End of protein w/ free carboxyl group
C-TERMINAL
Nitrogen content of proteins
16%
AA linked through covalent peptide bonding in a spec sequence to form a polypeptide chain
PRIMARY STRUCTURE
PP chain winds and forms A-helix and B-sheets through hydrogen bonds bet CO and NH
SECONDARY STRUCTURE
Coiled PP chain folds upon itself forming 3D through interaction of R groups
TERTIARY STRUCTURE
2 or more folded PP chain bind together by hydrogen bonds and electrostatic interactions
QUATERNARY STRUCTURE
Classification of proteins composed of only AA
SIMPLE PROTEINS
Symmetrical, compactly folded PP chain
GLOBULAR PROTEINS
Elongated, asymmetrical PP chain
FIBROUS PROTEINS
Classification of protein composed of protein and prosthetic group
CONJUGATED PROTEINS
Proteins with metal prosthetic grp
METALLOPROTEINS
Protein with lipids
LIPOPROTEINS
Proteins with 10-40% carbohydrates attatched
GLYCOPROTEINS
