Cards in this deck (24)

  1. 1Primary Structureamino acid sequence
    peptide covalent bonds
    -C-C-N-C-C-N-
  2. 2Secondary Structurebackbone interactions
    H-bonds of backbone where "R" groups stick out
    alpha helix and beta pleated sheets
  3. 3Tertiary StructureR group interactions - noncovalent and disulfide bonds
    Folded shape of 1 polypeptide
    Combination of secondary structure elements
  4. 4Quaternary StructureR group interactions
    multiple subunits linked by disulfide bridges and noncovalent bonds (hydrophobic interaction)
  5. 5Domaindistinct modules; stable globular units
    fold independently
    may retain 3D structure when separated from rest of protein
  6. 6Motifsrepetitive supersecond structure
    clusters of secondary structure
    beta-alpha-beta unit
  7. 7Covalent Bondsstrong bonds
    Shared electrons
    Polar and nonpolar
  8. 8Polar Covalent Bondshave partial charges
    electrons are unequally shared in the molecule
    hydrophilic
  9. 9Nonpolar Covalent bondsElectron pair is shared equally in the molecule
    hydrophobic
  10. 10Noncovalent BOndsWeak, but strong in aggregate
    - ionic bonds, hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic interactions, van der Waals forces
  11. 11Ionic BondNoncovalent bond
    attraction between + and (-) ions
    salts
  12. 12Hydrogen Bondsattraction of partial charges on polar molcules
  13. 13Hydrophobic Interactionsaggregations minimize exposure to polar molecules
  14. 14van der Waals Forcesattractive forces when atoms are very close
  15. 15Polar Charged Amino Acidshydrophilic "R" Group
    fully charged
    form ionic bonds
    can act as acid/base
    can form H-bonds
  16. 16Polar Uncharged Amino AcidsHydrophilic "R" group
    Form H-bonds and associate with water
    look for electronegative atom that forms partial charges
  17. 17Nonpolar Amino Acidmainly only carbon and hydrogen "R" group
    form inner core of soluble protein
    important for membrane
    van der Waals and hydrophobic interactions
  18. 18Glycinesingle hydrogen atom
    Hydrophobic/hydrophilic
    seen in kinks and turns of beta pleated sheets
    seen in tight spaces and turns
  19. 19Prolinehydrophobic
    creates kinks
  20. 20CysteinePolar "R" group
    Forms covalent disulfide bonds b/c sulfur is outermost atom
    oxidation forms bond; reduction break bond
  21. 21HydrophilicSurface amino acids of soluble proteins are _____
  22. 22HydrophobicCore amino acids of soluble proteins are _____
  23. 23X ray Crystallographyneeds crystals
    need to cleave larger proteins to see the structure
    may not see the native structure
  24. 24NMRno need for crystals
    less resolution than X-ray crystallography
    dynamic
