---|---|---|
what determines the form and function of proteins | the linear sequence of a protein | |
a protein structure that can be determined using experimental techniques | primary structure | |
peptide bond Can be broken with ___ or ____ at high temperature. | acid/base | |
A polypeptide composed of valine, glycine, and leucine, from left to right respectively, is named | valylglycylleucine | |
polypeptide chains must be separated using | denaturing agents | |
denaturing agents disrupt | non-covalent bonds | |
__ are regular, three-dimensional arrangements found within a protein as adjacent amino acids interact | secondary structures | |
secondary structure include | alpha - helices , beta-sheets, beta bends | |
a spiral protein structure with polypeptide backbone | alpha helix | amino acid side-chains extend outwards |
___ is 100% alpha helical and very rigid | keratin , rigid due to disulfide bonds | hemoglobin is 80% , and flexible , globular |
