proteins Flashcards
bonds in primary protein structure
peptide
primary protein structure
sequence of amino acids in polypeptide chain bonded by peptide bonds
bonds in secondary protein structure
hydrogen bonds (between amino and carboxyl groups)
secondary structure of a protein
protein folding due to hydrogen bonds causing alpha helix and beta pleated sheets (antiparallel strands)
tertiary protein structure bonding
hydrogen ionic, disulphide
tertiary protein structure
3d arrangement of polypeptide chains (which effects proterties and structures like active sites) due to bonds in the R group (hydrogen, ionic disulphide)
quaternary protein structure
arrangement of proteins together (globular)
is haemoglobin globular of fibrous
globular
is collagen globular or fibrous
fibrous
fibrous structure
no tertiary
long straight polypeptide chains
strong due to structural role
insoluble
hydrophobic on outside
repeated amino acid sequence
cross linking between polypeptide chains
globular structure
hydrophilic on outside due to polar amino side chain
quaternary structure
hormones or enzymes
little repetition in amino acid sequence
How many amino acid R groups are there
