New cards

Native conformation

polypeptide chain folds into a single stable shape

2
New cards

Biological function (of a protein) depends completely on:

Native conformation

3
New cards

2 key factors contribute to protein structure:  

Allowable bond rotation / Weak IMF

4
New cards

Why is Cis less favourable than trans conformation?

due to steric interference of a-carbon side chains

5
New cards

Parallel B sheets

strands run in same N to C terminal direction 

6
New cards

Antiparallel B sheets

strands run in opposite N to C terminal directions
