-COO-   carboxyl group  
🗑
hydrophobic amino acids have _______________ side chains   nonpolar; C-C and c-H bonds that cannot form hydrogen bonds; interact weakly with water; like to be interior  
🗑
side chains of polar amino acids can interact with water because they contain __________________ groups, including OH, NH, and SH   hydrogen-bonding  
🗑
cysteine, the only amino acid with a -SH group is able to form __________________   disulfide bonds  
🗑
what are the 2 negative charged amino acids   aspartate, glutamate  
🗑
what are the 2 positive charged amino acids   lysine, arginine  
🗑
the formation of a peptide bond involves the _______________________ of the carbonyl group of one amino acid and the amino group of another amino acid   dehydration  
🗑
a peptide bond can be broken down by ____________ in which water is added back to the bond and separates the two amino acids   hydrolysis  
🗑
the sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide is called the protein's ____________________.   primary structure  
🗑
the most common secondary structures are the ____________ and ____________   alpha helix, beta sheet  
🗑
______________________ is the localized shape that is formed by hydrogen bonding patterns of amino acid backbone atoms   secondary structure  
🗑
_____________________ is the result of different secondary structures interacting with one another via their R groups.   tertiary structure  
🗑
proteins with more than one polypeptide have ________________, and the polypeptides are held together by R group interactions similar to those that stabilize tertiary structure.   quaternary strucutre  
🗑
the largest force governing protein structure is the __________________, which causes R groups to cluster together in the interior of a protein in order to minimize their contact with water   hydrophobic effect  
🗑
hydrophobic interactions   a slight attraction that happens when non polar groups are close together  
🗑
ionic bond forms between _____________________ side chains   oppositely charged  
🗑
___________________ form when two cysteine groups are in close proximity and the two sulfur atoms form a covalent bond   disulfide bond  
🗑
_________________ is the loss of a protein's native 3d structure due primarily to the loss of _________ structure   denaturation; tertiary  
🗑
which denaturation technique disrupts hydrophobic interactions   heat  
🗑
which 2 denaturation technique disrupts ionic bonds and hydrogen bonds   changes in ph and high salt concentrations  
🗑
which denaturation technique disrupts disulfide bonds   reducing agents (perm)  
🗑
the extracellular amyloid material in alzheimer's disease consists primarily of a protein called _____________, a small fragment of a larger precursor protein located in the cell membrane   amyloid-beta  
🗑
in parkinson's disease, neurons in a portion of the brain accumulate fragments of a protein known as __________________   alpha-synuclein  
🗑
primary structure is held together by ______________ bonds   peptide  
🗑
what 4 side chain interactions stabilize the tertiary structure of proteins   ion pairs, hydrophobic interactions, hydrogen bonds, disulfide bonds  
🗑
peptide bonds are formed between the __________ group and the ____________ group   amino; carboxyl  
🗑
______________ are protein catalysts that can do the same reaction over and over   enzymes  
🗑
enzymes speed up chemical reactions by __________the activation energy of a reaction   lowering  
🗑
a _________ is a molecule that an enzyme will bind preferentially to any other molecule   substrate  
🗑
_________________ modifies enzyme activity by either turning it on or off   phosphorylation  
🗑
____________ add phosphate groups to proteins while ____________ remove them   kinases, phosphatases  
🗑
a ____________________ is usually a molecule similar in structure to a substrate that can bind to an enzyme's active site even though the molecule is unable to react   competitive inhibitor  
🗑
________________ attach to the enzyme at an allosteric site, distorting the tertiary protein structure and altering the shape of the active site   noncompetitive inhibitor  
🗑
_____________________, a kind of reversible noncompetitive inhibition regulates the rate of many metabolic pathways   feedback inhibition  
🗑
in the enzymatic cycle, the enzyme shape is changed when ______________ and resumes its original shape when ______________ after ___________________   substrate binds; product is released; substrate is converted to product  
🗑


   

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.
