What is the basic structure of an amino group (NH2 or NH3), carboxyl group (COO
amino acid? What do they look like? or COOH), alpha carbon (C), and variable group
How do you identify the 3 different Non-polar/hydrophobic - end with CH or "can't
types of side chains: non- have" water. Polar - end with OH, SH, or NH.
polar/hydrophobic, polar, and Charged - end with a charge
charged?
what kinds of bonds do each of the 3 ionic, hydrophobic/non-polar, charged
different types of side chains make?
What are the 4 levels of protein Primary - linear structure, Secondary - Folded into
structure? helix or pleated sheet caused by hydrogen
bonding, tertiary - 3D structure caused by side
chain interactions, quaternary - 1+ amino acid chains
combine = multiple subunits MUST have 1+ subunit
What enviormental change breaks hydrophobic - temperature change, ionic - salt or
each type of bond? decreased pH, hydrogen - temperature, change in
pH, disulfide - reducing agents
, what type of amino acid side chain hydrophobic bonds
leads to protein aggregration?
how do environmental changes Extreme temp can cause hydrogen bonds to break
affect protein folding? apart = malformation of protein folding
how do mutations affect protein Can cause structure to change. Protein loses form
structure? = loses function. May form a different protein.
What is an electron? Negatively charged atom on outer ring for
bonding
What is energy: Power derived fro chemical interaction
what are covalent bonds? chemical bond, atoms share 1+ valence electrons
what is an ionic bond? bond between positive and negative
what is a hydrogen bond? weak bond between positive and negative
with an amino? piece of amino acid, NH2 or NH3
what is a carboyxl? piece of amino acid, COO or COOH
What is hydrophobic? Doesn't like water, end with CH
what is hydrophilic? Water Lovering, end with OH, NH, or SH
what is disulfide bond? strongest bond between reduction agents, formed
between SH's.
