Protein Folding Flashcards
A process where a nascent protein becomes native
Protein folding
Process by which a protein achieves its native 3d structure
protein folding
Protein folding is a ________ ____________ process, which means it’s a non random
Highly regulated
Nascent is also known as _______________ protein
Non-functional
Native is also known as a ___________ protein
Functional
The process of maintaining or the continuous maintenance of protein synthesis and folding
Proteostasis
three categories of proteostasis
Protein synthesis
protein folding
degradation
part of the cell that synthesize protein
Ribosomes
To regulate well the folding process in the proteins there are specialized proteins that assist in protein folding which are called
Chaperones
If agregates aren’t managed well it will cause
Disease
The more proteins are being produced the greater the rate of
Folding
Synthesis of nascent polypeptide would serve as determinant if protein would be _________ or _______
beneficial or toxic
information needed for correct protein folding is contained in the
primary structure
A peptide bond, which is non rotational, is categorized the amino acid sequence
primary structure
Factors that facilitate folding and refolding
Native conformation of a protein is thermodynamically favored
folding is modular
