Proteins Flashcards
Primary structure is
Arrangement of ___ and ___ determine higher organization & biological function.
Amino sequence
Cellular proteome
Proteins in a cell type
Secondary Structure is
Held together by —- bonds between ——-
Helix and pleats
CO and NH groups
Tertiary Structure
Does this because
Strongest bonds are formed between x and cause y
Folding
Points are attracted to each-other
Cystine amino acids (on the same side) form disulfide bridges
Quaternary Structures are
Polypeptide chains
Denaturation of proteins
Results from
Loss of 3D structure & biological function
Alteration of bonds that maintain secondary and tertiary structure
Properties and function of Fiborus Proteins
Water insolvable
Tough
Parallel polypeptide chains
Structural role in cells and organisms (found in tissue, cartilage, and bones, etc)
Properties and function of a Globular protein
Water soluble
Tertiary structure critical to function
Polypeptide chains are folded in a 3d shape
Enzymes, regulatory, transport, protective
