Protein Structure Flashcards
A peptide bond forms between…
what type of reaction forms to create a peptide bond
Asymmetric Bond:
Peptide Nomenclature I
Peptides/Oligopeptides
Polypeptide
Protein
Amino Acids and Charge
Primary Structure
Peptide bonds can be rigid:
However in the other resonance conformation there is…
Peptide bonds are planar:
whenthe nitrogen delocalizes the electrons to the carbonyl group this restricts rotation making them planar
The Rotation of Polypeptide Backbones is Limited
Polypeptide Bonds: H bonding
Secondary Structure
Alpha Helix:
Proline is not found in the…
alpha helix..left or right handed structure
Every turn in an alpha helix group is … amino acid residues:
Atoms in the polypeptide backbone can interact with eachother through…
Side chains of the amino acid are not involved in…
Beta sheets are stabilized by hydrogen bonds between…
beta sheets: parallel
Antiparallel
Side chains point above or below the…
ß-sheets are often drawn as arrows
Forces that stabilize alpha helices:
Forces that stabilize beta sheets:
Irregular Structures:

Tertiary Structure: Fibrous Proteins
Globular proteins are stabilized by…and can be broken by…
