Amino Acids

Question 1

Amino acid

Answer 1

Molecule with an amine, a carboxylic acid, and an R group

R group gives amino acid its name

Question 2

A/β/etc amino acids

Answer 2

Which carbon the R group is on

The ones in our bodies are A

Question 3

Protein

Answer 3

More than 100 amino acids linked

Question 4

Enzyme

Answer 4

A protein with a cofactor on it

Make it do the nyoom

Question 5

Peptide bonds

Answer 5

Amides linking amino acids

Question 6

Formation of peptide bond

Answer 6

Enzyme holds amino acid
Adds atp to form a phosphodiester bond
Brings in next amino acid
Phosphate leaves with adp

Question 7

Protein structure

Answer 7

Primary: linked amino acids
Secondary: hydrogen bonding between peptides
Tertiary: interaction of R groups within strand
Quaternary: interaction of R groups with other strands

Question 8

Tertiary protein structure

Answer 8

Hydrophobic interactions
Ionic interactions
Covalent interactions- cys-cys, disulfide bonds

Question 9

Cofactor

Answer 9

A non protein substance that gives reactivity

Question 10

Electron carriers

Answer 10

NAD-NADH: produces 3 atp
FAD-FADHH: produces 2 atp

NADH&FADHH: reduced form
NAD&FAD: oxidized form
