Q

motor proteins

A

-allow movement
-actin and myosin proteins = responsible for muscle contraction

17
Q

proteins need different ______ to fulfill different duties

A

shapes

18
Q

when does hemoglobin shape change

A

with removal of oxygen

19
Q

what does kinesin need to operate to move

A

needs ATP and hydrolysis to operate to move, kinesin moves giant vesicle yo cell surface for expression

20
Q

basic structure of amino acid has

A

amino group (NH2) and carboxyl group

21
Q

how else can you draw basic structure of amino acid

A

as dipolar ion which is the typical form of an amino acid inside a cell or in blood

22
Q

how many common amino acids are there

A

20

23
Q

what are the four categories of amino acids

A

1)non polar side chains; hydrophobic
2)polar side chains; hydrophilic
3)electrically charged side chains; hydrophilic
4)acidic (negatively charged)

24
Q

what can two cysteine residues form

A

a disulfide bond

25
Q

disulfide bonds

A

covalent bonds and are therefore much stronger than an individual non covalent bond (such as a hydrogen bond)

26
Q

what type of bonds form together amino acids

A

peptide

27
Q

peptide is

A

a few amino acids joined together

28
Q

polypeptide

A

many amino acids joined together

29
