21
Q

The other end which has a carboxyl group and is known as the ____.

22
Q

is a chain of 20 or more amino acids joined by peptide bonds.

23
Q

An _______ is a chain of less than 20 amino acids.

24
Q

this protein structure is the arrangement of amino acids in a linear polypeptide chain.

A

Primary structure

25
this pertains to the local folded structures that form within a polypeptide due to interactions between atoms of the backbone.
Secondary structure
26
is formed when the carbonyl group (C=O) of one amino acid is hydrogen-bonded to the amino group (N-H) of the fourth amino acid in the sequence.
Alpha helix structure
27
two or more segments of polypeptide chain are lined-up next to each other.
Beta sheet or strand
28
the polypeptide’s unique 3-dimensional structure
Tertiary structure
29
This structure of proteins is attributed to the interaction that happens between the R-groups of the amino acids.
Tertiary structure
30
structure of a protein is the aggregation of multiple polypeptide chain known as subunits.
Quaternary structure
31
these types of proteins are insoluble in water and are mainly involved in supportive and protective function in organism.
Fibrous protein
32
these types of proteins are soluble in water and have a metabolic function role such as enzymes, hormones and antibodies
Globular protein
33
these forms the different body structure of an organism
structural proteins
34
biological catalyst that speeds up metabolic reactions of cells.
Enzyme
35
are protein in nature and these include glucagon, insulin and adrenocorticotropic hormone
Hormones
36
colored proteins that are conjugated and contain pigments such as hemoglobin and myoglobin.
Respiratory pigments
37
these proteins are involved in muscle contraction at the expense of ATP molecules
Contractile proteins
38
these proteins mainly function in storage of nutrients such as metal ions and amino acids in the cells
Storage protein
39
these are proteins which are responsible in transporting molecules to their destination.
Transport protein
40
involved in protecting the organism from foreign substance
Defense proteins
41
derived/from organisms like snakes and other toxic animals
toxins
42
amino acids that cannot be made by the body
Essential amino acids
43
are amino acids that can be synthesized by the body
Non-essential Amino acids
44
is term used to refer to any change in the three-dimensional structure of a protein that disables it to perform its specific function in the body.
Denaturation
45
the protein in egg known as
Albumin
