Front 6

Protein is made up of

Back 6

Amino Acids

Front 7

Proteins

Back 7

Are large molecules built of sub-units called amino acids

Front 8

Peptide

Back 8

Is a compound consisting of 2 or more amino acids linked in a chain.

Front 9

Polypeptide

Back 9

Is a long chain of amino acids joined together by peptide bonds. (between two amino acids)

Front 10

Structure of Protein

Back 10

4 levels of structure: Primary

Secondary

Tertiary

Quaternary

Front 11

Primary structure of proteins

Back 11

Describes the linear sequence of Amino acids, linked together by peptide bonds.

Front 12

Secondary structure of proteins

Back 12

Describes how the linear sequence folds upon itself. Is determined by backbone sequences. Alpha helix: wrapping around each other

Beta sheet: Zig Zag pattern

Both stabalized by hydrogen bonds

Front 13

Tertiary structure of proteins

Back 13

Refers to a higher order of folding within a polypeptide chain. Interactions between other polypeptides. Stabalized by hydrogen bonds. 3D structure.

Front 14

Quartenary structure of proteins

Back 14

Describes the bonding between multiple polypeptides.

Front 15

There are _____ different types of Amino acids that humans use.

Back 15
