Question
Answer
1st structural levels of proteins   1. primary structure- amino acids creating a polypeptide chain (beads)  
🗑
2nd structural levels of proteins   2. secondary structure- when proteins twist or bend upon themselves -alpha helix = coils of a telephone cord -pleated sheets = held together by hydrogen bonds, different parts of the polypeptide chain fold back on themselves  
🗑
3rd structural level of proteins   tertiary- when the alpha helix or pleated sheets fold upon one another to form a compact globular molecule .maintained by hydrogen and covalent bonds  
🗑
4th structural level of proteins   quaternary- when two or more polypeptide chains combine to form a complex protein  
🗑
Fibrous proteins   extended and strandlike .tertiary or quaternary structure .insoluable in water .mechanical support and tensile strength .also known as structural proteins .keratin and collagen  
🗑
Globular Proteins   .compact spherical proteins .at least tertiary structure .water soluable, chemically active, play roles in biological processes .functional proteins .enzymes + antibodies  
🗑
Protein Denaturation   .when proteins lose three dimmensional shape .globular proteins .broken hydrogen bonds through increased changes in ph or temperature  
🗑
active sites   regions that fit and interact chemically with other molecules of similar shape and charge  
🗑
Molecular Chaperones   .help proteins maintain three dimmensional structure .quick and accurate folding .heat shock proteins  
🗑
Enzymes and Enzyme Activity   .enzymes= globular proteins that are biological catalyst  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
