Q

Four types of Protein Structures:

A
  • PRIMARY STRUCTURE
  • SECONDARY STRUCTURE
  • TERTIARY STRUCTURE
  • QUATERNANRY STRUCTURE

these four dictates the function & defines the morphology of proteins

23
Q

refers to the order [number and sequence] in which amino acids are linked together in a protein

A

PRIMARY STRUCTURE OF PROTEINS

24
Q

the number and sequence of amino acids linked by the amides/peptide bonds are dictated by?

A

DNA CODING

25
Q

sequenced and determined the primary structure for the first protein hormone - Insulin

its:
- molecular structure
- identity
- binding capacity/ability

A

Frederick Sanger (1953)

26
Q
  • interaction of adjacent amino acids

its 3 forms?

A

SECONDARY STRUCTURE OF PROTEINS

  1. alpha-helix [spring]
  2. beta-pleated [corugated form]
  3. random [without pattern]
27
Q

The peptide linkages [in SECONDARY STRUCTURE of Proteins] are essentially ____ thus allows only two possible arrangements for the peptide backbone

A

planar

28
Q

The peptide linkages [in SECONDARY STRUCTURE of Proteins] are essentially planar thus allows only two possible arrangements for the peptide backbone…

ITS REASONS:

A
  • For two amino acids linked through a peptide bond six atoms lie in the same plane
  • The planar peptide linkage structure has considerable rigidity, therefore rotation of groups about the C–N bond is hindered
  • Cis–trans isomerism is possible about C–N bond.
  • The trans isomer is the preferred orientation

yung naka-bold lang tandaan HAHAHAHA. Explain in own words na langs~

29
Q
  • single protein chain
  • shape: COILED SPRING [HELIX]
  • coiled helical spring
  • its R-group are outside the Helix because there is not enough room for them to stay inside.
  • H-bonding between same amino acid chains – INTRAMOLECULAR

SAME AMINO ACIDS - HYDROGEN BONDING

R-GROUP OUTSIDE!!!

A

Alpha-helix (a-helix)

30
Q
  • Completely extended amino acid chains
  • Side chains below or above the axis
  • H-bonding between two different chains – INTER or/and INTRAMOLECULAR

DIFFERENT AMINO ACIDS - HYDROGEN BONDING

R-GROUP/SIDE CHAINS - TOP OR BOTTOM!!!

A

Beta-pleated sheets (b-pleated sheet)

31
Q
  • overall three-dimensional shape of a protein
  • interactions between amino acid side chains (R groups) that are widely separated from each other
  • defines the physical & chemical properties of proteins
A

TERTIARY STRUCTURE OF PROTEINS

32
Q

4 types of interactions are observed in Tertiary Structure of Proteins:

A
