🗑
The _________ group is covalently attached to the _________ group of the next amino acid.   a-Carboxyl group; a-Amino group  
🗑
What is the byproduct of a peptide bond?   H20  
🗑
Are peptide bonds broken when proteins get denatured?   No!  
🗑
Peptide bonds are in the ______ configuration.   TRANS  
🗑
A ______ residue causes limited flexibility due to it's nitrogen being incorporated into the Pyrrolidine ring   Proline  
🗑
The carboxyl (-C=O) and amino (-NH) groups of thepeptide bond are polar and involved in _______ bonds.   Hydrogen  
🗑
The ending of the name of each amino acid in a chain is changed to ____ except the one at the C-terminus   "yl"  
🗑
The Linear Sequence of Amino Acids linked by peptide bonds that determines 3-D structure and the function of the protein.   Primary structure  
🗑
Localized structures within proteins that are formed from hydrogen bonds between -C=O and -NH of the peptide bond.   Secondary structure  
🗑
In ________ H-bonds are formed between the carbonyl oxygen of a peptide bond and the hydrogen attached to the amide group of a peptide bond that is 4 amino acids away   Alpha Helices  
🗑
In _______ H-bonds are formed between linear regions of the polypeptide   Beta Sheets  
🗑
What are the 2 comformations of Beta Sheets?   Parallel and Anti-parallel  
🗑
What 2 amino acids are often involved in a B turn of a Beta Sheet?   Proline and Glycine  
🗑
_______ make up 50% of most polypeptide chains   Loop/Coil  
🗑
What three super secondary structures are often found in DNA binding proteins?   Helix-turn-helix, Zinc finger, Leucine zipper  
🗑
The 3-D conformation of a protein   Tertiary structure  
🗑
______ interactions are the most important in the folding of the peptide chain.   Hydrophobic  
🗑
Apart from Hydrophobic interactions, what other interactions help to form the tertiary structure of a protein?   Hydrogen bonds, ionic bonds (electrostatic interactions), and S-S (disulfide bonds)  
🗑
What is a domain?   Independent folding region that allows 1 protein to have multiple functions. Each domain has a specific function.  
🗑

🗑
Multiple subunits are held together by _________.   noncovalent interactions and/or disulfide bonds  
🗑
_________ aid in protein folding during synthesis. They also prevent misfolding and protein aggregation   Chaperones  
🗑
_____ is required for chaperones to fold proteins.   ATP  
🗑

🗑
What can cause denaturization of proteins?   pH extremes, temperature, Ionic detergents, Organic solvents, Heavy Metal Ions, and Mechanical Stress.  
🗑
