Card preview (9)
what are proteins
organic compounds that contain O, C, N, and sulfur
What groups do amino acids contain
They contain an acidic group (COOH) and an amino group on the other side (NH2)
what is the distinguishing factor of all amino acids
The R group
Peptides
a peptide bond is a covalent bond between two amino acids through condensation.
Poly-peptides
chains of amino acids joined by peptide bond
know what denature is
when enzyme is out of its environment resulting in change of shape losing its properties
why is the shape of a protein important
because they are the determining factor of the protein and the function.
name all the shapes of proteins
Primary structure Secondary structure (can fold two ways, alpha helix or beta pleeted sheet (looks like a paper fold)) Tertiary Structure (folded) Quaternary structure results when two or more polypeptides combine. Hemoglobin is a globular protein with a quaternary structure of four polypeptides;
Key note, study indepth later
okay
