Protein Structures and Bonds Flashcards
protein structures
primary, secondary, tertiary, quaternary
- synthesized in rough er and golgi aparatus
primary protein structure
its linear sequence of amino acids
- synthesized on rough ER
secondary protein structure
the primary folding of the amino acid chain and becomes a polypeptide chain which consists of the chain folded into alpha helices and beta pleated sheets
tertiary protein structure
the conformation of a protein which is the three dimensional folding pattern of the protein
- which is unique to each protein
- folds are held together by intramolecular forces
quaternary protein structure
protein consisting of more than one tertiary protein combined
structural proteins
extended and strand like proteins that are insoluble in water, very stable, providing mechanical support and great tensile strength to the bodies tissue
functional proteins
compact and spherical in shape, soluble in water, chemical active molecules
enzymes and protein relation
all enzymes are proteins but not all proteins are enzymes
-enzymes catalyze the use of other proteins to speed up a process
ionic bonds
transfer electrons
hydrogen bonds
are the weakest bonds
- they hold base pairs of DNA strands
covalent bonds
share electrons
- 2 forms: glycosidic and peptide bonds
glycosidic bond
bonds carbohydrates and saccharides
- the formation is known as dehydration synthesis which is when a water molecule is released
- hydrolysis is the breaking of the bond which happens when a water molecule is added
peptide bond
they join together amino acids for the formation of a protein
