3.3 Proteins Flashcards
1
Q
Primary Structure
A
order of amino acids in chain, determined by gene, determines final shape, covalent bonds formed
2
Q
Secondary Structure
A
H bonds between carboxyls & amines of amino acids, combination of a-helix and b-pleated
3
Q
Tertiary Structure
A
Final shape of single polypeptides, hydrophobic side chains
4
Q
Quaternary Structure
A
Not all proteins have this level, held by H-bonds and hydrophobic interactions
5
Q
Denaturation
A
unfolding protein, doesn’t affect primary structure
6
Q
Tertiary Forming
A
Hydrophobic interactions, hydrophilic interactions
7
Q
Acidic Side Chains
A
Nonpolar
8
Q
Basic Side Chains
A
Polar
9
