proteins

Question 1

the linear connectivity of amino acids from beginning N-terminus to end C-terminus

Answer 1

primary structure

Question 2

once a single amino chain of amino acids is produced, the chain of amino acids will fold in a way…

Answer 2

that maximizes the stability of the protein and maximizes the entropy of the system

Question 3

helical structures which have a variety of roles such as acting as DNA binding sequence or anchoring larger proteins to the plasma membrane by acting as a transmembrane sequence

Answer 3

alpha helices

Question 4

hydrogen bonding interactions between peptide backbone carbonyl oxygen atoms and peptide backbone amino groups 4 residues away stabilize what?

Answer 4

alpha helix

Question 5

what is the primary stabilizing force in protein secondary structure

Answer 5

hydrogen bonding

Question 6

sheetlike structures created by several regions of a peptide chain looping back along one another: these regions interact through hydrogen bonding interactions between backbone carbonyl and amino groups

Answer 6

beta sheets

Question 7

the regions where the peptide chain loops back on itself

Answer 7

beta turns

Question 8

the overall three-dimensional structure that a peptide chain folds into

Answer 8

tertiary structure

Question 9

a peptide folding into teh most energetically favorable state that it can reach; this is the most optimal conformation

Answer 9

native state

Question 10

in the tertiary structure, internally, the peptide is stabilized by

Answer 10

hydrogen bonding, ionic bonding, dipole-dipole interactions, london dispersion forces, and disulfide linkages

Question 11

disulfide linkages between cysteines are the only covalent bond capable of influencing BLANK structure

Answer 11

tertiary
