Protein Structure Flashcards
Structural and motility proteins, such as myosin, collagen, and keratin
Fibrous protein
Enzymes and transport, defense, and regulatory proteins are usually globular ni nature, making them soluble and allowing them to diffuse freely across membranes
Globular proteins
Protein more than one amino acid chain
Quaternary structure
3 dimensional folding pattern of a protein due to side chain interaction
Tertiary structure
Hydrogen bonding of the peptide backbone causes amino acids to fold into repeating pattern
Secondary structures
Beta pleated sheets or alpha helices
Secondary structures
Sequence of chain of amino acids
Primary structure
join the amino terminal (NH2)
and carboxyl end (COOH) of amino acids to
form the protein back bone.
