Chapter 3 Flashcards
Use of proteins
structure, enzymes, transport, signaling molecules
postive
hydrophilic
negative
hydrophilic
no charge
hydrophobic
Primary structure
long chain of amino acids
secondary
alpha helix and beta strands
tertiary
disulfide bridges, cystine molecules connected by side chains
quaternary
hemoglobin, 4 subunits come together
Cys Cys disulfide bridges
make up structure
hydrophobic forces
important for structure through interactions of non polar substances in the presence of polar substances
hydrogen bonds
structurally important by sharing H- atom- 2 polar groups
denaturing
death of a cell
nomenclature
mono, di, poly
mono
individual carb monomers
glucose and fructose
dis
2 monos covalently bonded together, alpha and beta
