Document Content and Description Below

How do you identify the 3 different types of side chains: non-polar/hydrophobic, polar, and charged? - Non-polar/hydrophobic - end with CH or "can't have" water. Polar - end with OH, SH, or NH. Charge... d - end with a charge what kinds of bonds do each of the 3 different types of side chains make? - ionic, hydrophobic/non-polar, charged What are the 4 levels of protein structure? - Primary - linear structure, Secondary - Folded into helix or pleated sheet caused by hydrogen bonding, tertiary - 3D structure caused by side chain interactions, quaternary - 1+ amino acid chains combine = multiple subunits MUST have 1+ subunit What enviormental change breaks each type of bond? - hydrophobic - temperature change, ionic - salt or decreased pH, hydrogen - temperature, change in pH, disulfide - reducing agents what type of amino acid side chain leads to protein aggregration? - hydrophobic bonds how do environmental changes affect protein folding? - Extreme temp can cause hydrogen bonds to break apart = malformation of protein folding how do mutations affect protein structure? - Can cause structure to change. Protein loses form = loses function. May form a different protein. [Show More]
