CH 4 Translation and Protein Structure

Question 1

What re the four levels of a protein structure?

Answer 1

1 based on DNA sequence2 due to h bonds in the back bone not in the R group3 R group has many interactions4 protein sub units interacting with one another

Question 2

What are the three main shapes of a protein?

Answer 2

Helix and sheet and linear

Question 3

What is a denatured protein?

Answer 3

A protein that has been unfolded and therefore loses it’s function

Question 4

What are chaperons?

Answer 4

Proteins in cells that help fold slow folding or denatured proteins

Question 5

Know the components of translation

Answer 5

Ok

Question 6

What are the two main units of a ribosome?

Answer 6

The large subunit and the small subunit

Question 7

Answer 7

Ok

Question 8

Know how to use the standardized amino acids table 4.1

Answer 8

Ok

Question 9
