Unit 1 Protiens Flashcards
(5 cards)
What are the types of protiens?
1. amino acids
2. Polypeptides
- amino acids:
-monomer of Protiens
-made of carboxyle group + animo group (N+H) + Rest - Polypeptides:
-long amino chain
-many amino acids
-held together by peptide bonds
How to tell if a amino acid is polar, non-polar, acids, or bases?
Polar:
-uneven charges in R group
-most likely has Oxygen
Non-polar:
-even charges is R group
-most likey doesn’t have Oxygen
Acids:
- has negative charge
Base:
-has positive charge
peptide bonds
Amino acids + amino acids = Protien
Bond: peptide(dehydration snythesis)
bond happends between N-Terminal (amino group) and C-terminal (carboxyal end)
Describe the structures of proteins
1. primary structure
2. secondary structure
3. tertiary structure:
4. Quaternary structure:
Structure = function
protiens are folded
- primary structure:
-amino acid + amino acid
Bonds; peptide bonds
shape: annal beads - secondary structure
-a helix
-b pleted sheet
Bonds: hydrogen bonding - tertiary structure:
-complex shape
Bonds: Hydrogen bonding, disulfide bridge, hydrophobic, hydophilic, ionic bonding
Shape: S - Quaternary structure:
-polypeptide + polypeptide
Bonds: Van der Waals force, aggrevation of 2+ polypeptides
Shape: spaghetti
Protein synthesis vs denaturation
protien synthesis:
fold proteins into structures
-chaperone protines and prosthetic group
denaturation:
unfolds protien
-heat, cold, salt, pH
