Proteins (enzymes)
Proteins
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Primary structure | Sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain |
| Example of an AMINO ACID | Glycine |
| Secondary structure | Alpha helix OR Beta pleated sheets |
| Tertiary structure | Globular or fibrous |
| Tertiary structure bonds | IONIC HYDROGEN DISULPHURIC |
| Amine group | N-H -H |
| Carboxyl group | C=O -OH |
| Quaternary | Proteins with other elements inside EG haemoglobin contains Fe |
| Examples of proteins on body | keratin=hair and nails |
| what type of proteins are enzymes? | Globular |
| how primary structure affects tertiary structure | primary sequence determines the structure of the protein are where the bonds will be (disulphuric) |
| theory about enzymes is called the... | lock and key theory |
| definition of enzyme | biological catalyst (increases rate of reaction without being used up itself) |
| which part of enzyme is shaped and interacts with the substrate | the active site |
