Lec4 Flashcards
Acidic amino group
Basic amino group
Acidic COO- negative charged
Basic NH3+ positive charged
Polypeptide
Protein
The relationship between these two
Polypeptide is the animo acid sequence
Protein is the polypeptide folding into special confirmation. Functional conformation
Weak interactions (4’)
Van der waals
Hydrophobic interaction (tendency for non polar molecules to congregate in water)
Hydrogen bond
Ion bonds (not strong in solution as in crystals)
For levels of protein structure
Primary sequence of amino acids
Secondary hydrogen bonds between polypeptide backbone ; coil and fold ; 阿尔法 贝塔
Tertiary. Weak interactions between R group;
Quaternary. Not all have this form . 2or more subunits
Desaturation
Renaturation
Denaturation. Unfolding the protein structure ; PH temp toxic environment.
