Cards

Term
chromatography
Definition
proteins w/ different charges move down a pH gradient until the pH = the pI for each
Term
gel electrophoresis
Definition
Uses charges to separate proteins w/ different pI
Term
primary structure
Definition
peptide bonds between amino acids. carboxyl group of one binds amino group of another. very stable b/c hydrolysis rate is very slow
Term
amino acid sequence direction
Definition
from N to C terminal + to -
Term
hydrogen bonds in dipeptide bonds
Definition
nitrogen donor, oxygen acceptor
Term
peptide bonds
Definition
resonance between CO and CN bonds. partial double bond makes it planar. other 2 bonds have free rotation. Always trans except proline/glycine.
Term
ramachandran diagram
Definition
shows sterically favorable angles of bonds. most angles cause steric clash.
Term
secondary structure
Definition
alpha helix, beta sheet.
Term
alpha helix
Definition
residue bonds w/ one that's 4 positions down. prefer: Ala Leu Met Glu Gln His Lys Arg: side chains protect hydrogen bonds from solution
