Q

unraveling of the 3D of a macromolecule caused by the breakdown of noncovalent interactions

20
Q

denaturation is caused by

A

heat
large change in pH
detergents (sodium dodecyl sulfate)
urea and guanidine hydrochloride
B-mercaptoethanol

21
Q

difference between myoglobin and hemoglobin

A

myoglobin:
stores O2\
bind strongly to O2 at very low pressure
50% at 1 torr partial pressure if O2

hemoglobin:
transport O2
bind strongly to O2 n release easily
100% when O2 pressure is 100 torr

22
Q

one molecule of myoglobin binds -
hemoglobin can binds up to -

A

one O2
4 molecules of O2

*binding to hemoglobin = positive cooperativity

23
Q

tetramer

A

2 alpha chains (141 residues long)
2 B chains (146 residues long)

a2B2

*myoglobin are homologous

24
Q

molecules that are made up of smaller subunits (example)

A

oligomers (dimers, trimers, tetramers)

25
property of multisubunit proteins such that a conformational change in one subunit induces a drastic change in another subunit
allosteric - if 1 changes, all the other subunit will change too
26
pertains to protein that consists of more than one polypeptide chains
quaternary
27
arrangement of subunits with respect to one another
quaternary
28
3D arrangement of all atoms in a protein, including those in side chain and in prosthetic groups
tertiary structure
29
ordered 3D arrangements in space of the backbone atoms in a polypeptide chain
secondary
30
order in which amino acids are covalently linked tgt
primary
31
iron-containing cyclic compound
heme * more than one molecule can bind to heme
32
it consists of a single polypeptide chain of ____ amino acids and a prosthetic group, ____
myoglobin 153 aa heme
33
heme compact structure
a-helical: 8 - stabilized by H bonding B-pleated sheets: absent exterior: polar side chains interior: non polar side chains and 2 histidine
34
heme group
consists of metal ion, Fe (II) 6 coordination site forms 6 metal ion complexation bonds - 4: N atoms of the 4 pyrrole type of porphyrin -5th: N atoms of the imidazole of histidine - 6th: O2
35
protein structure
pri structure (peptide bonds) sec (H bonding backbone) tertiary (polypeptide chains) quaternary (subunits)
36
gobular protein
non polar - inside polar - outside have a-helix and B-sheets soluble in H2O and salt soln have compact structures, spherical
37
contain polypeptide chains organized approx. parallel along a single axis
fibrous protein *long fibers, strong, insoluble in water and able to dilute to salt soln
38
all three individual collagen chains are helices that differ from the a-helix
collagen triple helix (tropocollagen) * held tgt by H bond involving hydroxyproline n hydroxylysine
39
collagen triple helix
organized in water-insoluble fibers of great strength repeating sequence of 3 amino acids
40
repetitive super secondary structures
motifs
41
common nonrepetitive irregular secondary motif in antiparallel B-sheets
B-bulge
42
hydrogen bonds btwn peptide chains can be interchain or intrachain
B-pleated sheets - give rise to zigzag structure n perpendicular to the direction - polypeptide chain lie adjacent to one another (same direction - parallel opp direction - antiparallel) R groups alternate abv and below plane
43
stabilized by H bonds parallel to the helix axis within the backbone of a single polypeptide chain
a-Helix - helical conformation allows linear arrangement = provide max. bond strength and make conformation stable
44
true or false: changes in one amino acid residue in a sequence can alter biological functions
true
45
biologically active protein are polymers that consist of amino acids liked by what type f bonds
covalent peptide bonds
46
true or false: in the absence of bisphosphoglyceate, oxygen binding capacity of Hb wld be lower
false - higher *BPG supply O2 to the growing fetus
