Q

Define peptide bond.

A

The amide bond formed when amino acids combine through condensation reaction is known as a peptide bond.

49
Q

a. the sequence of amino acids held by covalent peptide bonds, which is unique for each protein.

A

primary structure

50
Q

a. When amino acids form H bonds between atoms and within chains constitute this structure. 2 main types are alpha and beta form. In an alpha helix the amino acids are arranged in a right-handed helical form.

A

secondary structure

51
Q

a. The protein folds into a compact structure stabilized by interactions between R groups in this structure. Attractions and repulsions between amino acid residues in polypeptide chain lead to this structure. Most proteins require 2 or more tertiary structures to be biologically active.

A

tertiary structure

52
Q

what are the two interactions involved in tertiary structure

A

hydrophilic

hydrophobic

53
Q

interactions between external aqueous environment and polar amino acid residues. (remnants of amino acids during the formation of peptide bonds are called residues)

A

hydrophilic

54
Q

interactions lead to the formation of a nonpolar region in the center of protein molecule and repelled by hydrophilic interactions.

A

hydrophobic

55
Q

ionic attractions between charges of acidic and basic amino acid residues.

A

salt bridges

56
Q

bonds formed between H and O or N.

A

hydrogen bonds

57
Q

are covalent bonds formed when SH groups are oxidized.

A

disulfide bonds

58
Q

a. The combination of two or more protein molecules to form an active protein takes place in this structure

A

quaternary structure

59
Q

Combination of 2 or more protein polypeptide chains stabilized by the interactions (discussed in tertiary) constitute this structure. Amino acids with different sequences of alpha and beta chains form similar tertiary structures

A

quaternary structure

60
Q

Formed within the same protein chain. Hydrogen bonding can occur between the α-carboxyl group of one residue and the –NH group of its neighbor four units down the same chain. The helical structure can be easily disturbed since hydrogen bond is unstable.

A

alpha helix

61
Q

within the same protein molecule consists of two or more amino acid sequences that are arranged adjacently and in parallel, but with alternating orientation. Thus hydrogen bonds can form between the two strands. Hydrogen bonds established between the N-H groups in the backbone of one strand with the C=O groups in the backbone of the adjacent, parallel strand(s). The sheet’s stability and structural rigidity and integrity are the result of multiple such hydrogen bonds arranged in this way.

A

beta pleated sheet

62
Q

Which are the protein structures affected by denaturation?

A

Denaturing disrupts the secondary, tertiary, or quaternary structure of a protein.

63
Q

Acids and bases denature a protein by

A

disrupting ionic bonds and hydrogen bonds

64
Q

An acid can denature a protein by

A

disrupting hydrogen bonds between R group chains.

65
Q

Heat denatures a protein by

A

disrupting hydrophobic bonds and hydrogen bonds.

66
Q

Heavy metals denature proteins by

A

disrupting disulfide bonds

67
Q

One heavy metal that can cause denaturation of a protein is

A

silver

68
Q

What are active sites? Where are they found?

A

The area where the substrates are held are called active sites, found within the enzyme’s tertiary structure.

69
Q

what happens within active sites

A

residues of amino acids react with functional groups of substrate to form H bonds, salt bridges and hydrophobic interactions.

70
Q

Combination of an enzyme and a substrate within the active site forms an

A

enzyme-substrate complex (ES) that catalyzes the reaction with lower activation energy

71
Q

R groups on amino acid residues does what

A

catalyze the reaction to form enzyme-product complex.

72
Q

(EP) Then the products are

A

released from the molecule so that it binds with another substrate.

73
Q

Rate of enzyme-catalyzed reactions are affected by change in

A

temperature, pH, enzyme and substrate concentration.

74
Q

Inhibitors decrease enzyme activity by

A

binding in active site (competitive inhibition) or at another site on the enzyme (noncompetitive inhibition).

75
Q

Irreversible inhibitor forms a

A

a covalent bond within the active site that permanently prevents catalytic activity.

76
Q

Differentiate between enzymes and inhibitors.

A

Enzymes are the biological catalysts for reactions in our body. Catalyst is a substance which increases the speed of a chemical reaction by choosing another path for the reaction.
Inhibitors decrease enzyme activity by binding in active site (competitive inhibition) or at another site on the enzyme (noncompetitive inhibition). Irreversible inhibitor forms a covalent bond within the active site that permanently prevents catalytic activity.

77
Q

Proteins are

A

amino acid chains that fold into unique 3-dimensional structures.

78
Q

The shape into which a protein naturally folds is known as its

A

native state, which is determined by its sequence of amino acids and interaction of groups.

79
Q

A

80
Q

81
Q

determines the properties of each amino acid because all 3 other groups attached to the alpha C atom are common for all amino acids.

A
