Molecules

Question 1

Similarities and differences in amino acid structures

Answer 1

S: Have Carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen
D: Different basic shape and some of them have amino or methyl

Question 2

Four levels of protein structure

Answer 2

Primary, Secondary, Tertiary, and Quaternary

Question 3

Protein denaturation:

Answer 3

The protein unfolds and temperature, pH, and salinity disrupt H bonds and ionic bonds.

Question 4

Tertiary structure is formed:

Answer 4

Hydrophobic interactions: They connect to each other in the inside.
Hydrophilic interactions: Polar and love water.
Acidic: Negative charge
Basic: Positive Charge
Cysteine: Made up of sulfhydryl and create a special covalent bond.

Question 5

Why and how would the structure and function of a protein change if a hydrophobic amino acid was substituted for a hydrophilic one?

Answer 5

They could be on the outside attracted to water and they would be attracted to water because hydrophilic loves water.
