PROTEINS Flashcards
(23 cards)
Protein
large polymer of amino acids
form structural components.
adapt specific shape 4 proteins
structure
contains C, H, O, N.
joined by covalent bonds
peptide bonda
joined by covalent bonds, involving condensation.
breaking includes hydrolysic
dipeptide
2 aamino acids
Polypeptide
more aamino acids
primary structure
sequence of aamino acids. THIS MAKES THE FUNCTION.
secondary structure
twists into shape.
some coil to alpha, which held by hydrogen.
some to zig zag-beta
tertiary structure
coiled aamino acids coiled together.
more bonds form
single strand turn to final shape;.
Quaternary
multiple chains are arranged.
ionic bonds
attraction of neg r groups and pos r groups.
disulfide bonds
cysteine- sulfur bonds with other Sulfur.
hydrophobic
clump together
hydrophilic
push protein outside.
hydrogen bonds
slightly neg and slightly pos bond together.p
bonds
primary=peptide
secondary=hydrogen bonding
globular proteins
r groups outside.
hydrophobic turned inwards.
soluble, as water easy clusters and binds.
hameglobin
globular.
carrys o2 from lungs to tissues.
binds to haem, which turns to red.
globular protein examples
insluin
pepsin
fibrous proteins
regular, repetitive sequence of aamino acids.
insoluble
form fibres=structural.fi
collagen
mechanical strength, preventing aerty to burst.
keratin
strong h2 bonding and disulfide bonds.
HARD and STRONG.
Elastin
helps blood vessels to strech
