Amino Acids:___________
Monosaccharides
________structure dictates the chemical properties of amino acids
r group
Amino acids can be classified as:
- non-polar(can’t dissolve in water)hydrophobic
- Polar (can be dissolved in water)hydrophilic
- charged(+/- )
- aromatic(smell/frag)
- specific function
Shape determines function
Proteins are in charge of certain areas. An example is folding.
________most basic, polypeptide a little chain of amino acids
Primary structure
______interactions of groups in the peptide backbone
Secondary structure
