Four levels of protein structure Flashcards
1
Q
Primary
A
Sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chains, influenced by dna
one gene = one polypeptide
Bond between amino acid is called a peptide bond
2
Q
Secondary
A
Shaoe that polypeptides chains form due to hydrogen bonding
Hydrogen bonds twist and polypeptide forming an alpha helix
3
Q
Teritarty
A
Alpha helix of a secondary futher twisted and foleded
Disuphic, ionic, covalent hyrophobic and hydrogen bonds
Enzymyms have a teritarty structure
4
Q
Quaternary
A
Two or more polypeptide chains
Haemaglobin
