Protein Flashcards
Are very complex organic substances made up of carbon hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen. (CHON) Sulfur may also be present.
PROTIEN
They do all this stuff using only 20 different ingredients. And this are the
AMINO ACIDS
Just like Fatty acids, Amino acid have
Carboxyl group
consists of a carbon atom double bonded to an oxygen atom
Carbonyl group
double bonded
carbonyl group
What is the monomer of protein?
Amino acid
carboxyl group is consists of?
carbonyl and hydroxyl
Amino acids form a long chains called
Polypeptides
are chains of amino acids
Polypeptide
are made up of one or more polypeptide molecules
Proteins
The amino acids are linked covalently by
peptide bonds
The graphic on the right shows how three amino acids are linked by peptide bonds into a
tripeptide
serve as the building blocks of polypeptides, and polypeptides serve as the building blocks of proteins
Amino acids
Joining dozens of amino acids together makes a
polypeptide chain
can serve as a protein on its own
