lecture 6 part 1 Flashcards
prteins are
polymeric macromolecules composed of amino acids
subunit of proteins
amino acids
macromolecule of protein
protein
are proteins diverse in structure and function
yes
what is the most diverse macromolecule
proteins
what is the largest % of a cell’s dry weight
protein
proteins can be dynamic structures that move in response to what
binding by another moleq or specific environmental conditions
kinesin is
motor protein
suffix “ase” represents
enzyme
what is the structure (and this function) of a protein determined by
its amino acid sequence
-its amino acid determines the proteins 3D structure through their ability to form non covalent bonds (and sometimes covalent bonds)
defense proteins
-antibodies attack pathogens
-could be venoms/toxins that protect organisms from being eaten
storage proteins
-some proetsins store amino acids for later use
caesin
protein of mil, major source of amino acids for baby mammals (storage protein)
ovalbumin
protein of egg white, used as amino acid source for developing embryo (storage protein)
transport proteins
-mole moleqs from one side of a membrane to another or in and out of cell/organelle
-hormones (proteins)
-transceptors for protein is protein
