Question
Answer
Proteins Contain ...   Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, and Nitrogen and, Formed from Amino Acids  
🗑
Proteins   all proteins contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen and are the most abundant organic molecules in the body  
🗑
Amino acids are the...   monomer for proteins  
🗑
Proteins carry out several functions including   Support Movement Transport Buffering Metabolic regulation Coordination and control Defense  
🗑
Protein structure:   organic polymers that consist of long chains if similar organic molecules called amino acids  
🗑
There are 20 ...   amino acids in the body  
🗑
Peptide bond   covalent bond between carboxyl group of one amino acid and the amino group of another.  
🗑
Peptides   molecules consisting of amino acids held together by peptide bonds  
🗑
Dipeptide   molecule created containing 2 amino acids  
🗑
Polypeptide   molecule created containing 3 or more amino acids  
🗑
Polypeptides with more than 100 amino acids are usually called...   proteins; familiar proteins include hemoglobin, collagen, and keratin.  
🗑
Primary structure   sequence of amino acids along the length of single polypeptide.  
🗑
Secondary structure:   shape that results from the presence of hydrogen bonds between atoms at different parts of a polypeptide chain  
🗑
Tertiary structure:   complex coiling and folding that gives a protein its final 3-D shape.  
🗑
Quaternary structure:   nteraction between individual polypeptide chains to form a protein complex.  
🗑
Globular proteins   compact, generally rounded and soluble in water.  
🗑
Globular proteins..   can function only if they remain in solution Unique shape of protein comes from tertiary structure Hemoglobin and Myoglobin are both globular proteins  
🗑
Fibrous proteins   form extended sheets or strands and insoluble in water  
🗑
Fibrous proteins...   Tough, durable. Usually play structural role in body. Shape usually due to secondary structure  
🗑
Shape of a protein determines its ...   functional characteristics and the sequence of amino acids ultimately determine its shape. Ex. Certain cancers and Sickle Cell anemia result from changing a single amino acid in the sequence of complex proteins  
🗑
ertiary and Quaternary shapes of complex proteins depend not only on their amino acid sequence, BUT also...   local environmental conditions  
🗑
Substrates   Reactants in enzymatic reactions  
🗑
Active site   Special region of enzyme that substrates must bind to  
🗑
A Simplified View of Enzyme Structure and Function   Substrate binds to active site of enzyme. Once bound to the active sites, the substrates are held together, making their interaction easier. Substrates binding alters the shape of the enzyme, and this change promotes product formation.  
🗑
A Simplified View of Enzyme Structure and Function..   Product detaches from enzyme; entire process can now be repeated  
🗑
Specificity   Each enzyme catalyzes only one type of reaction.  
🗑
Saturated   Enzyme that has reached its saturated limit is said to be saturated  
🗑
Saturation Limit   Substrate concentration required to reach the maximum rate of reaction  
🗑
Cofactor   An ion or a molecule that must bind to an enzyme before substrates can also bind.  
🗑
Without a cofactor,   the enzyme is intact but nonfunctional  
🗑
With a cofactor,   the enzyme can catalyze a specific reaction  
🗑
Coenzyme   non-protein organic molecules that function as cofactors. Ex. Our bodies convert vitamins into co-enzymes. The human body cannot synthesize most of the vitamins it needs, it must obtain these from your die  
🗑
Temperature and PH...   affect enzyme function.  
🗑
Denaturation   Change in tertiary and quaternary structure (unfolding of protein) that makes it nonfunctional caused by high heat or low pH (acid)  
🗑
Denaturation example   When you fry an egg, the temperature rises causing the protein in the egg white to denature. Eventually causing the proteins to become completely and irreversibly denatured forming an insoluble white mass  
🗑
Glycoproteins and Proteoglycans are...   combination of protein and carbohydrate molecules  
🗑
Glycoproteins   Large proteins with small carbohydrate groups attached  
🗑
Proteoglycans   Large polysaccharide molecules linked by polypeptide chains  
🗑


   

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.
