(5 cards)

1
Q

What are the types of protiens?
1. amino acids
2. Polypeptides

A
  1. amino acids:
    -monomer of Protiens
    -made of carboxyle group + animo group (N+H) + Rest
  2. Polypeptides:
    -long amino chain
    -many amino acids
    -held together by peptide bonds

Q

How to tell if a amino acid is polar, non-polar, acids, or bases?

A

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

Q

peptide bonds

A

Amino acids + amino acids = Protien

Bond: peptide(dehydration snythesis)

bond happends between N-Terminal (amino group) and C-terminal (carboxyal end)

Q

Describe the structures of proteins
1. primary structure
2. secondary structure
3. tertiary structure:
4. Quaternary structure:

A

Structure = function
protiens are folded

  1. primary structure:
    -amino acid + amino acid
    Bonds; peptide bonds
    shape: annal beads
  2. secondary structure
    -a helix
    -b pleted sheet
    Bonds: hydrogen bonding
  3. tertiary structure:
    -complex shape
    Bonds: Hydrogen bonding, disulfide bridge, hydrophobic, hydophilic, ionic bonding
    Shape: S
  4. Quaternary structure:
    -polypeptide + polypeptide
    Bonds: Van der Waals force, aggrevation of 2+ polypeptides
    Shape: spaghetti

Q

Protein synthesis vs denaturation

A

protien synthesis:
fold proteins into structures
-chaperone protines and prosthetic group

denaturation:
unfolds protien
-heat, cold, salt, pH
