Cards

Term
What nonvoalent interaction stabilize the higher levels of protein structures?
Definition

hb

hydrophobic inter

electrostatic bond

vander walls 

Term
how Hydrogens bonds related to protein structure 
Definition

peptide backbone tend to form hydrogen bonds with one another

like C-->NH

 

 

H bond stabalizes protein 

Term

side chains capable of forming H bonds usually located where?
Definition

water solvent or within surface residues 

 

interior provides increased stabilization 

Term
describe Hydrophobic reactions  to protein
Definition
Hydrophib interactions DRIVE protein folding- formation of hydrophpib c bonds" minimizes the interaction of nonpolar residues with water and is HIGHLY favorable"
Term
ioni interaction (electriconic interaction) usually occurs where on protein?
Definition

protein surfaces- it is energetically unfavorable for an ionized residue to be located in the hydrophobic core of the protein 

 

 

Term
functions of vander walls in protein 
Definition
through increased number it plays a powerful role in stabalizaiton of protein
Term
beginning of chapter 5
Definition
Term
how are proteins classed?
Definition
shape and solubility
Term
4 levels of protein sructure
Definition

primary

secondary- H bonds

teriary- 3D

Quaternary- true protein

Term
shapes of protein
Definition

globular/ or fibrous

 

fat guy or skinny guy= glob or fibr

Term
describe fibrous shape of protein
Definition

relatively simple, regular linear, tend to have structural roles in cells

 

"house made of hay"

Term

describe globular proteins shapes

functions characteristics

Definition

spherical in shape

usually hydrophobic interior, hydrophillic exterior

Term

descbe characteristics of primary structure of proteins in its amino acid sequence numbered from its N terminus

 

Definition
linear array of AA in its amino acid sequence numbered from its N terminusto C terminus
Term
how are primary proteins numbered
Definition
in its amino acid sequence numbered from its N terminus
Term

characteristic of secondary structure (2)

 

what is the force being secondary how does it function in secondary proteins,

Definition
secondary structures are formed through Hydrogen bonding interactions between adjacent amino acid residues
Term

secondary proteins polypeptide chains can arrange itself into what 2 forms

 

secondary for 2, meaning 2 forms

Definition
helical or pleaded segments
Term
characteristics of tertiary structure, how does it's form in tertiary help its structure
Definition
globular shape, minimizes the proteins interactions with enviroment, inorder to take on its quat shape
Term
characteristics of quarternery structure, what provides its form
Definition

a aggregation of multiple polypeptides- aggreations of these structures are called subunits

 

last hierarchy

 

known as "PROTEIN"

Term
what is a subunit
Definition
aggregation of more than one polypeptide that has aggregated together
Term
what drives the formation of higher order protein sturcture
Definition

NON-covalent forces drive formation of higher order proteins

 

- vander walls

-electrostatic

- hydrogen bonding

-hydrophobic interactions

 

not just hydrophobic

Term
all the information necessary for a protein molecule to achieve its intracte form is contained in which of the 4 phases?
Definition
primary form
