Proteins Flashcards
1
Q
functions of a protein
A
- enzymes
- structure
- hormone
- transport nutrients
- removal of foreign substances
- muscles contraction
2
Q
made up of
A
carbonyl group, amine group, central carbon + hydrogen, and r-group
3
Q
what process connects proteins?
A
dehydrate synthesis, forming a peptide bond
4
Q
primary structure bonds
A
basic amino sequence connected by peptide bonds
5
Q
secondary structure bonds
A
interaction between carboxyl and amino group forming hydrogen bonds
6
Q
tertiary structure bonds
A
(first functional structure) R-group side chain interactions
7
Q
what bonds do the tertiary structure from?
A
hydrogen bonds (hydrophobic/philic interactions) and ionic bonds
8
Q
quaternary structure bonds
A
same and tertiary + van der waal forces
9
Q
what are quaternary structures?
A
groups of protein structures forming one protein on its own (e.g.: hemoglobin)
