Cohesion
Water to water through hydrogen bonding
Cause of water properties
Hydrogen bonding
Secondary structure
Amino group of one eminent acid bonding to the carboxyl group of another
Alpha helix and beta pleated sheet
Adhesion
Water to another polar molecule through hydrogen bonding
Hydrophilic r group
Polar
Tertiary protein structure
R groups interacting with each other, gives protein it’s specific shape and function
Hydrophobic r group
Non-polar
Ionic r group
Acids and bases
Acid
Negatively charged
Quaternary protein structure
Multiple polypeptides interacting
Same bonds as tertiary structure
Only amino acid with disulfide bridge
Cystine
Bases
Positively charged
