Document Summary

Each cell contains thousands of different proteins. Different types of cells produce different proteins. Amino group, central carbon, hydrogen atom, carboxyl group. Amino acids- linked together by peptide bonds. A functional protein consists of one or more polypeptides twisted, folded, and coiled into a unique shape. Primary structure- unique sequence of amino acids. Local patterns/structure held together by hydrogen bonds. Overall 3d structure of the protein held together by chemical bonds between side chains (r groups) Hydrogen bonds, ionic bonds, hydrophobic interactions and van der. Two or more polypeptide chains bond together. Ability of the r groups to interact with water and or with each other influences the formation of 3 structure: Polar and charged r groups position themselves. On the exterior where they will interact with water or. Protein found in red blood cells that helps transport oxygen through the body. Enzyme that helps to break down glucose.
