proteins Flashcards
two main factors that effect enzymes
temperature and pH
enzymes make a chemical reaction go faster by
lowering the activation energy
the active site and substrate
fit like a lock and key
monomers of proteins
amino acids
how many different kinds of amino acids
20
what part of an amino acid determines its properties
R group
dehydration synthesis between 2 amino acids
peptide bond
straight long chain of amino acids
polypeptide
primary protein structure
order of amino acids
secondary protein structure
pleated sheets/alpha helix
tertiary protein structure
twisted pleated sheet/alpha helix
quaternary protein structure
multiple structures twisted together
CHON(S)
chemical equation of amino acids
acid group
C double bond O and single bond O single bond H
amine group
N bond H bond N
