Arginine Histidine Isoleucine Lysine Methionine Phenylalanine Threonine Tryptophan Valine
27
How many amino acids cannot be synthesized by the body?
10
28
R = H, CH3, alkyl groups, aromatic
Nonpolar
29
R = –CH2OH, –CH2SH, –CH2C–NH2 , ( groups with –O-, -SH, -N-)
Polar
30
R = –CH2COOH, or -COOH
Polar/Acidic
31
R = –CH2CH2NH2
Polar/Acidic
32
This type of amino acid Must be obtain from the diet • All in diary products • 1 or more missing in grains and vegetables
Essential Amino Acid
33
What kind of bond is formed when the –COOH of an amino acid and the –NH2 of the next amino acid bonded?
Amide (peptide) bond
34
Three-dimensional arrangement of amino acids with the polypeptide chain in a corkscrew shape • Held by H bonds between the H of –N-H group and the –O of C=O of the fourth amino acid along the chain • Looks like a coiled “telephone cord”
Secondary Structure – Alpha Helix
35
Polypeptide chains are arranged side by side • Hydrogen bonds form between chains • R groups of extend above and below the sheet • Typical of fibrous proteins such as silk
Secondary Structure - Beta Pleaded Sheets
