Organic Molecules, Protiens (part 2)

Protein elements?

CHON(s)

Protiens purpose?

Structural Support.

Protein monomer?

Amino Acid?

Protein Polymer?

Polypeptide.(covalent/peptide bond)

Protein shape?

3D

A.A?

amino acid.

Protein's Primary structure?

Amino acid chains, different sequence of AA's for each protein.

Protein's secondary structure?

Amino acids form hydrogen bonds within, causes protein to fold. (Alpha helix & Beta-pleated sheet).

Protein's Tertiary Structure?

Folds and bends from AA characteristics.

Protein's Quaternary structure?

2+ AA chains interact and form a protein complex.

Denature?

When a protein loses it's 3D shape.

What causes denaturation?

Temp and PH changes causes the protein to not work.

Transport protein?

Carries molecules around (Hemoglobin carries oxygen)

Structural protein?

Provides support for body parts. Keratin strengthens hair, nails, etc.

Defense protein?

With immune system fights off infection and maintains homeostasis.

Antibodies Protein?

Attach to invading bacteria and viruses and tag them for destruction.

Regulatory protiens?

Aid with homeostasis reactions.

Enzymes Protein?

Speed up biochemical reactions

Horomones protein?

Messenger that helps coordinate body activities.

Motor protein?

Responsible for muscle contraction and movement.
