Amino acid residues are connected to one another through
peptide bonds
between the
carboxyl
group of one amino acid and the amine group of another.
Non-essential
amino acids can be produced by the body from other
compounds.
Essential
amino acids cannot be synthesized by the body and must be obtained through
dietary
sources.
The primary structure of proteins consists of amino acids linked together by
peptide bonds
, forming
polypeptides.
Proteins are made up of
amino acids
, which can be classified as
essential
or non-essential.
Protein
is the most abundant substance in
cells.
Proteins have different
shapes
that determine their
function.
The primary structure is determined by the sequence of
amino acids
, which can be altered during
protein synthesis
or post-translational modification.
The sequence of amino acids determines the
structure
, function, and
properties
of proteins.
Essential amino acids
cannot be synthesized by the human body and must be obtained from
food
sources.
Secondary structures include
alpha helices
(coiled) and
beta sheets
(flat).
The sequence of amino acids determines the protein's
function
and
properties.
The sequence of amino acids determines the unique
properties
of each protein.
There are
20
different types of
amino acids
that make up proteins.
Denaturation
occurs when protein molecules lose their native conformation due to changes in
environmental
conditions.
Protein folding is influenced by factors such as pH,
temperature
,
salt
concentration, and presence of cofactors or ligands.
Amino acid sequence
determines
protein shape.
There are about
20
different types of
amino acids
found in proteins.
Secondary structure refers to local folding patterns within a
polypeptide
chain due to
hydrogen
bonding between certain amino acid side chains.
Secondary structure refers to local folding patterns within a
polypeptide
chain due to
hydrogen
bonding between certain amino acid side chains.
Each protein has its own unique sequence of amino acids that determines its shape and function.
Secondary structures refer to local folding patterns within a
polypeptide
chain caused by
hydrogen
bonding between certain amino acid side chains.
Ionic
interactions involve
charged groups
on amino acid residues.
Different sequences of
amino acids
result in different
shapes
and functions of
proteins.
Hydrophobic
interactions occur between
hydrophobic side chains.
Amino acid
sequences are read from N to
C
terminus.
There are
20
common amino acids found in
proteins.
Different types of proteins include
enzymes
, structural proteins, transport proteins, hormones,
antibodies
, and storage proteins.
Non-essential
amino acids can be produced by the human body
through
metabolic
processes.
Enzymes
catalyze
chemical reactions in living
organisms.
Hydrophobic amino acids include
alanine
(A), valine (V), leucine (L), isoleucine (I), proline (P), phenylalanine (F), tryptophan (W),
methionine
(M).
Amino acids are linked together to form
polypeptide chains
, with
hydrogen
bonds forming between adjacent peptides.
Amino acid sequences can vary between species and individuals due to
genetic variation.
Secondary
structure involves local
folding
patterns such as alpha-helices or beta sheets.
The genetic code is
degenerate
, meaning that multiple codons can encode the same
amino acid.
Essential
amino acids cannot be synthesized by humans and must be obtained through
dietary
sources.
Primary structure is determined by the sequence of amino acids in a
polypeptide
chain.
Translation occurs at
ribosomes
, which bind to
mRNA
molecules and use them as templates to build proteins.
Protein synthesis involves the translation of
mRNA
into polypeptide chains by
ribosomes
using tRNAs as adaptors.
Protein structure refers to the arrangement of
atoms
within a
protein
molecule.
