Protein structure Things to remember Flashcards
All proteins are polymers made of 20 different amino acid Monomers
Every Amino acid has a hydrogen atoms (H) and an R-group bonded to a Central Carbon (C)
Polar Charged- Full charge (+) or (-)
Non polar- Side chains have C,H, and some S
Polar Uncharged- Might have partial charges
All protiens have primary Structure
Some have secoundary structure
all fold into a tertiary strucutre
Peptide bond Formation (Dehydration)
Remove OH and H / H2O ( Dehydration/ Condensation)
Breaking peptide Bond (Hdrolysis)
Add have OH and H/ H2O
Polymerization of Amino Acid (Steps)
1- Amino acid monomers join by dehydration
2- form peptide bonds between amino acids
3- Polypeptides chain fold to form protiens
4-Once folded the protein assumes its functional form
what are Polymers of amino acids called
Polypetides
How to polypeptide form a functional protiens
1- Polypeptide folds to archive a final shape and gets modified with smaller adaptor groups
2- It may be directed to the correct compartment in the cell
3- It may be connected to other proteins to do a joint function
4 hierarchical levels of protein structure
Primary- Sequence of amino acids
secondary- How the primary structure is folded
tertiary- Final shape of folded polypeptide
quaternary- Subunits join to form functional proteins
