Basic unit: Amino Acids are linked by what?
.......Answer.........Peptide bonds.
-Short chain hydrocarbons w/carboxyl and amine group.
,age 3 of 53
*Each amino acid may act as an acid or a base.
What is the structure of peptide bonds? .......Answer.........Primary
Stucture: Sequence of amino acids.
Secondary Structure: Hydrogen bonding.
Tertiary Structure: Disulfide bonding.
Quaternary Structure: Electrostatic Attraction.
What is protein denaturation? .......Answer.........The change of
protein structure.
Can be caused by:
- Change in temperature (rupture weak secondary & tertiary
bonds)
-Change in pH (alter ionic charge)
, age 4 of 53
-Hydrolysis
-UV light
What are Aminoacidopathies? .......Answer.........Inherited
disorders of amino acid metabolism
such as:
-Phenylketonuria
-Tyrosinemia
-Alkaptonuria
-Maple Syrup Disease
