QuestionAnswer
difference between bonding of tertiary and quaternary structureTeritiary- R groups of the same polypeptide chain Quaternary- R groups of different polypeptide chains
are polar molecules hydrophilic or hydrophobichydrophilic
structure of collagen, why is it water resistant, and what bonds make it upPrimary, secondary and quaternary structure. 3 secondary structures twist together to form a triple helix. Every third amino acid is glycine (smallest amino acid) to make the structure tight. There is no tertiary structure so that collagen does not dissolve in water. Weak hydrogen bonds and covalent bonds. Staggered ends.
what type of structure do all proteins haveprimary and secondary
Fibrous proteinsPrimary and secondary structure only, no tertiary insoluble in water eg, keratin and collagen
globular proteinsPrimary secondary and tertiary structure, some quaternary structure soluble in water - carried in water eg. Hemoglobin, enzymes, antibodies, insulin most proteins are globular
Primary structure proteinOrder/sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide
Tertiary structurefolded secondary structures in between R groups. Contains Weak hydrogen bonds, ionic bonds, covalent bonds, disulphide (cysteine only), hydrophobic interactions, and hydrophilic interactions. can make proteins specific shapes
secondary structure proteinAlpha helix and Beta sheets held together by weak hydrogen bonds between the hydrogen of the carboxyl group and the oxygen of the amine group
quaternary structure2 or more polypeptide chains each having a tertiary structure bonded together
prosthetic groupextra thing added to protein to make it function better
where can disulsphide bridges formin between two cysteines, which are the only amino acids that contain carbon
what causes globular proteins to be solublehydrophilic/polar
what type of bond is peptide bondcovalent bond
difference between bonding of tertiary and quaternary structureTeritiary- R groups of the same polypeptide chain Quaternary- R groups of different polypeptide chains
structure of collagenPrimary, secondary and quaternary structure. 3 secondary structures twist together to form a triple helix. Every third amino acid is glycine (smallest amino acid) to make the structure tight.
why is collagen water resistantThere is no tertiary structure so that collagen does not dissolve in water.
What do enzymes do that speed up rate of reactionlower activation energy to form/break bond
Induced fit hypothesisActive site can change shape a little to become a complementary fit
