Exam 3 Flashcards
Where can peptide bonds rotate
N-aC
N-C(carbonyl) angle
Omega
C(Carbonyl)-aC angle
Psi
aC-N angle
Phi
The amino acid sequence
Primary structure
Local folded structure. Stabilized H-bonds between backbone amides
Secondary structure
Interactions between regions of secondary structure. Stabilized by the hydrophobic effect and intermolecular interactions between side chains.
Tertiary structure
Interactions between multiple folded polypeptide chains.
Quaternary structure
Molecules move in straight lines; their directions is random
KMT or gases(kinetic molecular theory)
Molecules are small. The volume of the molecule is much smaller than the volume of the container.
KMT of gases
Molecules do not attract or repel each other.
KMT of gases
Molecules experience elastic collisions
KMT of gases
The mean kinetic energy is proportional to the temperature in kelvin
KMT of gases
T is proportional to E =
1/2 mxu^2 (mass of molecule in kg) (root mean square speed of molecule)
U(rms)=
Square root of 3RT/M R=8.314 M=Molar mass T=temperature in kelvin
Leakage of gas through a small opening
Effusion
Diffusion
Even distribution of all gases throughout a volume of space
