PRIMARY STRUCTURE OF A

PROTEIN

• THE ORDER OF THE AMINO ACIDS THAT MAKE UP THE PROTEIN

• THE THREE-DIMENSIONAL ARRANGEMENT OF A PROTEIN CAUSED BY HYDROGEN BONDING AT REGULAR INTERVALS ALONG THE POLYPEPTIDE BACKBONE

TERTIARY STRUCTURE OF A

PROTEIN

• THE THREE-DIMENSIONAL ARRANGEMENT OF A PROTEIN CAUSED BY INTERACTION AMONG THE VARIOUS R GROUPS OF THE AMINO ACIDS INVOLVED

• THE ARRANGEMENT OF THE SEPARATE POLYPEPTIDE SUBUNITS INTO A SINGLE PROTEIN

• A PROTEIN THAT ACTS AS AN ORGANIC CATALYST TO SPEED UP REACTIONS BY LOWERING THE ACTIVATION ENERGY NEEDED FOR THE REACION TO TAKE PLACE
• EFFECTIVENESS CAN BE AFFECTED BY TEMPERATURE, pH, THE CONCENTRATION OF SUBSTRATE INVOLVED, AND THE CONCENTRATION OF ENZYME INVOLVED

• RUNS FROM 1-14
• 0 = STRONGLY ACIDIC
• 7 = NEUTRAL
• 14 = STRONGLY BASIC

• A REACTION THAT BREAKS DOWN COMPOUNDS BY THE ADDITION OF WATER

DEHYDRATION SYNTHESIS

REACTION

• A REACTION IN WHICH TWO COMPOUNDS ARE BROUGHT TOGETHER WITH WATER RELEASED AS A PRODUCT

• A REACTION THAT REQUIRES THE INPUT OF ENERGY TO OCCUR

• A REACTION THAT GIVES OFF ENERGY AS A PRODUCT

• A REACTION INVOLVING THE TRANSFER OF ELECTRONS
