Q

4 levels of protein structure

A

primary: amino acids sequence, each unic, shape depends on primary sequence
secondary: shape, coiled (alpha helix, flexible, stretch) or folded (beta pleated, strong)
tertiary structure: folding on itself, 3D

quaternary: not all have, 2 or more polypeptide chains

if polypeptide can accompich a function on its own, then protein, if not, then quartiary structure needed to be a protein, and alone called polypeptide

Q

mutation/denaturation

A

mutation: change in amino acid sequence, may or may not change primary structure because of repitition of codons

denaturation: due to cellular conditions (heat, oH, heavy metals etv) change in 2nd or 3rd structure, possibly 4th primary unchanged, cna be reversible or irreversible

change in structure causes change in function
