Document Summary

Not all proteins share 3d folding; some exist as natively unstructured proteins (random, unfolded conformations) The function of a protein depends on its structure which depends on the amino acid sequence. Are linear polymers of 50- 30,000 amino acids. The peptide bond is formed by the carboxyl group from one amino acid and the amino group (nh3+) of another. The reaction is a condensation reaction. There are polarities on the two opposite ends. Amino (n- ) terminal is positive; carboxyl (c- ) terminal is negative. Polypeptides are elongated through the c- terminal. The general pattern is n- c- c- n- c- c( aka the backbone) The peptide bond shares double bond characteristics through resonance between the c- o and c- n bonds. Bonds are all covalent. There is no rotation around the peptide bond; this constrains its flexibility and prevents certain folding patterns. Proteins structures have increasing complexity from primary secondary tertiary quaternary.

Peptide bonds are made via condensation of an amine and a carboxylic acid with loss of water.

3. Which of the following statements about proteins is FALSE?

	Active proteins are generally very loosely structured.
	In water-soluble proteins, hydrophobic amino acid residues are generally buried and not exposed to water.
	Primary structure determines tertiary structure.
	Secondary structure is regular, recurring arrangements in space of nearby amino acid residues in a polypeptide.
	Quaternary structure involves the interaction of subunits in a protein with more than one polypeptide chain.
