Document Summary

Primary transcript has been fully processed into mature mrna molecule translation. Proteins = determinant of biological form + function can take place. Influence shape, colour, size, behaviour + physiology of organism. Protein = polymer composed of monomers (amino acids) Protein = chain of amino acids chain = polypeptide. Protein amino group, carbon, hydrogen, r group and carboxyl group. 2 functional groups carboxyl and amino bonded to carbon atom. H group and r group attached to carbon atom. 20 known amino acids each with a different r group gives amino acid its unique properties. Amino acids linked together by covalent bonds peptide bonds carboxyl (cooh) end of another. Peptide bond formed by linkage of amino (nh2) end of one amino acid with. 1 water molecule is removed during reaction. 4 levels of organization (1) primary structure linear sequence of amino acids in polypeptide chain (2) secondary structure regions of polypeptide chain folding into specific shapes.
