Protein Structure

    Cards (7)

    • What bonds are in the tertiary structure of a protein?
      • Hydrogen Bonds
      • Ionic Bonds
      • Disulphide Bridge's
      • Hydrophobic + hydrophilic interactions
    • The Secondary structure can become an Alpha Helix or a Beta-pleated sheet.
    • The four levels of protein structure are:
      • Primary
      • Secondary
      • Tertiary
      • Quaternary
    • The Hydrogen Bonds may form within the amino acid chains , pulling it into an alpha helix
    • Polypeptide chains can also lie parallel to one another and can join by hydrogen bonds forming sheet like structures called beta-pleated sheets
    • The structure of an amino acid is :
      • The Amine Group
      • Carboxylic acid group
      • variable group
    • The formation of a peptide bond is a condensation reaction between the amine group of one amino acid and carboxylic acid group of another’s forming a water molecule.
