LIFE 102 Lecture Notes - Lecture 6: Fish Oil, Dehydration Reaction, Glycogen
Document Summary
Peptide bond: joins amino acids to make a polymer. Tertiary structure: has both pleated sheets and helix"s but there are also some areas that aren"t either. Disulfide bond: they are created by reaction of two sulfhydryl groups. Quaternary structure; similar to having two booties you can"t just have one. In order to get the quaternary structure you need to have the tertiary structure and to get that you need the secondary structure and to get that one you need to have the primary structure. Denaturation: loss of conformation loss of protein function can be irreversible. You can go from a normal protein and denature it to become a denatured protein. You can also renature a denatured protein and make it back into a normal protein. Human disease: a single amino acid change altered quat. Functions of proteins: enzymes: catalyze chemical reactions. This reaction is called a hydrolysis reaction: structural support. Like a spider web: storage of aa.
