Elongated fibrous proteins spans

A

Long distances

35
Q

Examples of elongated fibrous proteins

A

Keratin, extracellular matrix, collagen and elastin

36
Q

What are extracellular proteins

A

Covalent cross linkages that strengthen proteins by formation of disulfide bonds that are found extracellularly

37
Q

How do protein binding work

A

Proteins interact with ligands through weak or strong binding

38
Q

Proteins have what type of binding with noncovalent bonds

A

Complementary binding

39
Q

Function of antibodies

A

Hunt pathogens

40

Structure of antibody

42
Q

Where is the specificity of binding in antibodies

A

At the y ends

43

48
Q

Catalytic activities of enzymes are regulated by

A

Gene expression, compartmentalizations, feedback regulation

49
Q

What are the different types of binding in catalytic enzymes

A

Allosteric binding, phosphate binding

50
Q

What are allosteric enzymes

A

Enzymes with two binding sites

51
Q

How do allosteric enzymes work

A

Bind in both binding sites then change conformations

52
Q

Function of phosphorylation

A

Involves attachment of a phosphate group to an amino acid side chain

53
Q

Phosphorylation changes what in protein

54
Q

Kinases function

A

Add phosphate

55
Q

Phosphotases function

A

Take away phosphate

56
Q

How do GTP binding proteins work

A

GTP in protein becomes hydrolyzed to form GDP inactivating the protein then GDP leaves protein, GTP then reactivates protein

Q

Function of motor proteins

A

Cellular movement

58
Q

What are protein machines

A

Large complexes that allow proteins to act in a coordinated manner due to hydrolysis of GTP or ATP

59
Q

Receptor tyrosine kinase

60
Q

How are proteins studied in vitro

A

Cultured cells, differentiated properties are maintained, raw materials
