Day 7 Flashcards
overall three dimensional arrangement of all th atoms in a protein
tertiary structure
what holds segments in position in tertiary structure
weak interactions and covalent bonds
arrangement of 2+ separate polypeptide chains in 3D complexes
quaternary structure
how many major types of proteins based on polypeptide chains
4a
arranged in long strands or sheets
fibrous proteins
folded into a spherical or globular shape
globular proteins
embedded in a hydrophobic lipid membranea
membrane proteins
lacking stable tertiary strucurres
intrinsically disordered proteins
givers strength and or flexibility to structure s
fibrous proteins
simple repeating element of secondary structure
fibrous proteins
example of right handed alpha helix
alpha kertatin
main protein in silk
fibroin
predominately beta sheets conformation
fibroin
what is fibroin rich n
alanine and glycine
what is fibroin stabilized by
hydrogen bonding and van der waals interactions
found in connective tissue
collagen
what is the secondary structure of collagen
left handed helix
what is tertiary and quaternary structure of collagen
right handed twisting of 3 separate polypeptides
what is caused by lack of vitamin C
scurvy
fold back on each other, more compact than fibrous proteins
globular proteins
