Document Summary

Character: peptide bonds are planar, secondary structure: local ordered structure , * stabilized by h-bonds , fig 4-4 a,b,c,d, helix : is a right handed helix , that is tightly wound. In an helix there is no proline b/c : proline is stiff and kinks, proline cant h-bond, need opposite charge fig 4-4-d, helix has dipole fig 4-5, this helix dipole stabalizes the. Proline is used to make: b- sheet decreased solubility to proteases, prion disease : disease caused by abnormally formed protein(has more b shrrt) examples: mad cow, cruzefelt -jakob. 3 tertiary structure: the 3d structure of a single poly peptide, seen by x-ray and nmr. Fig 4-14 -> human serum albumin (585 aa in a single chain) Fig 4-16- heme a prosthetic group: metal ion or organic molecule bound to a. Fig 4-15 a&b -> myoglobin ribbon diagram protein that is required for activity. Fig 4-17 a&b is an example of super secondary structure)

2. Which statement about peptides bonds is NOT TRUE?

There is perfectly free rotation about the peptide bond.

The peptide bond has partial double-bond character.

The peptide bond is shorter than a normal carbon-nitrogen single bond.

The peptide bond usually has a trans configuration with respect to the alpha-carbons of the two amino acids involved in the peptide bond.

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.
