Cards (71)

  • heat - disrupts hydrogen bonds; produces coagulation
  • microwave radiation - causes violent vibrationi
  • ultraviolent radiation - operates similarly to heat
  • violent whipping or shaking - causes molecules with globular shapes to extend longer lengths then entage
  • detergnt - affect R groups
  • organic solvents - interfere with R roups, denature proteeins and killing them
  • strong acids and base: disrupt hydrogen bonds and salt bridges
  • salts of heavy metals: metaal ions with SH to form poisonous salts
  • reducing agents - reduce disulfide linkkage to produce SH groups
  • Fibrous protein (insoluble) - keratins, collagens, elastins, myosins, fibrins
  • globular proteins (soluble) - myosin, insulin, immunoglobulins, transferrin, hemoglobin
  • keratins - found in wool, feathers, hooves, silkk, fingernails
  • collagens - found in tendons, bone and otheer connective tissue
  • elastins - found in blood vessels and ligaments
  • myosins - found in muscle tissue
  • fibrin - found in blood clots
  • insulin - regulatory hormone for controlling glucose metabolism
  • myoglobin - involved in oxygen storage in muscles
  • hemoglobin - oxygen transport in blood
  • transferrin - iron transport in blood
  • immunoglobulins - involved in immune system response
  • Catalytic - biochemical catalysts / enzymes (ex: ALT, AST)
  • Defense: bind to foreign substances to help combat invasion of the body by foreign particle (ex: immunogloblins , antibodies)
  • Transport: bind to smaller biomoleecules and transport in other locations
  • Messenger: transmmits signals to cordinate biochemical processes (ex: insulin, glucagon)
  • Contractile: undergo conformation changes that involve contraction and extension (ex: actin, myosin, flagella of sperm)
  • Structural: confer stiffness and rigidity (ex: collagen, keratin)
  • Transmembrane: help control the movement of small molecules and ions through the cell membrane (ex: integral membrane protein)
  • Storage: bind and store small molcules for suture use (ex: ferritin, myoglobin)
  • Regulatory: often "embedded" (ex: transcription factors)
  • nutrient: nourishment, renewal and repair to continuance of life (ex: casein, ovalbumin)
  • oxidases: oxidation of substrate
  • reductases: reduction of substratee
  • transminases - transfer of an amino group
  • kinases: transfer of a phosphate group between substrates
  • lipass: hydrolysis of ester linkage in lipids
  • proteases: hydrolysis of amino linkkages
  • nucleases: hydrolysis of sugar-phosphate ester bonds in nucleic acid
  • carbohydrates: hydrolysis of glycosidic bonds in carbohydrates
  • phosphatases: hydrolysis of phosphate-ester bonds
