Biology 3593B Study Guide - Quiz Guide: Glutamine, Asparagine, Isoleucine
Document Summary
Proteins: draw the general formula for an amino acid and a peptide bond, know the three-letter codes for the amino acids and the nature of their sidechains. Learning objective: 3 letter code and sidechain type of all 20 amino acids i hate this. Non-polar side chains: cluster together due to hydrophobic interactions. Asp glu lys arg his: explain that proteins are polymers of amino acids (polypeptides) of defined length and sequence. Proteins: polymers of amino acids of defined length and sequence explain that proteins have unique folded structures with hydrophobic cores and hydrophilic surfaces k. Idk how to make the dot big again sorry. Conformation: the specific 3d structure of a polypeptide chain defined by amino acid sequence. Proteins have unique folded structures with hydrophobic cores and hydrophilic surfaces: describe the roles of weak interactions (hydrogen bonds, ionic bonds and hydrophobic interactions) in maintaining protein structure. H bonds: maintain secondary and tertiary protein structure.
