How many Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins?
There are 20
What can help determine the structure and function of Amino Acids?
The side chain
How does a chain help?
It produces reactions
How are molecules made?
They require dehydration
How are molecules broken down?
They require hydrolysis
What does Peptide Bonds stand for?
It’s a protein that’s an amino acid group
What is it called if there’s fewer than 50 amino acids on a chain?
It’s a oligopeptide
What’s it called if there’s more than 50 amino acids on a chain?
It’s called a polypeptide
The sequence gives way to what?
The structure
The structure gives way to what?
The function
Without the structure what becomes deformed?
The function
How many basic structures are within protein?
There are 4
What does a primary structure contain?
It has the order of an N-end to a C-end (also called the c-terminus)
Can a single Amino acid change protein function?
Yes
What are secondary structures formed by?
They have hydrogen bonds
How are secondary structures formed?
They have a curly or bent shape
What does a tertiary structure do?
They fold upon themselves
What causes a tertiary structure of protein?
The attraction of R-groups
Which protein basic structure is needed like a motor in a car?
The quaternary structure
Do all quaternary structures contain polypeptides?
Not a lot of them do
What are the four basic structures of protein based on?
The primary structure
What does it mean for a protein to be denatured?
It’s an unfolded protein not able to normally function
What helps proteins in folding correctly?
The molecular chaperones
What are Prions?
They are improperly folded forms of normal proteins
What disease is attached to Prions?
Jakob disease or Mad cow disease
What are domains within proteins?
They are the functions within the structures
What does metabolism do?
The enzymes speed up chemical reactions
What defends pathogens for defense?
the antibodies attack the intruder
What does signaling do?
It sends proteins off between cells like hormones
How does transport work?
It allows molecules to enter/ exit cells or carry them throughout the body
What is responsible for storing, expressing, and trasnmitting genetic code?
It’s nucleic acids
What does DNA do?
It makes RNA and stores genetic information
What does RNA do?
It decodes instructions to link together amino acids to a polypeptide chain
What is a single nucleotide?
It is DNA
What is the code for DNA?
It is AUGC
What is the code for RNA?
It is ATGC
What is the energy of the cell?
It’s called ATP
What do nucleotides link through to build nucleic acid polymers?
They are called phosphodiester bonds
Are DNA and RNA strands directional?
Yes they are
What are the directions of DNA/RNA?
5 - 3
Which structure is the order of nucleotids
Its’s the primary structure
What structure is anti-parallel & double helix
It’s the secondary structure
What is it called that fits our DNA into a nucleus?
It’s chromosomes
