Proteins
Cards in this deck (6)
- 1Chemical constituents of proteinsC, H, O, N, (S)
- 2Structure of amino acidscarbon atom
amino group (NH2)
carboxyl group (COOH)
unique side chain (R) - 3Types of amino acids in proteinsthere are more than 100,
but only 20 used to make proteins - 4Formation of di-/polypeptides (2)condensation reaction of two/many amino acids
CONH -> peptide bond - 5Structures of proteins (3)vary by sequences/number of amino acids
polypeptide chain coil/fold up to give different shapes
some may bind tgt to form protein with specific conformation (haemoglobin) - 6Functions of proteins (4)formation of new cells, growth and repair
make enzymes, haemoglobin, peptide hormones, antibodies
component of hair, ligament, nails, tendon
