Transport, hormones, catalysis, structure, and protection What function does a protease have? catalysis. It degrades proteins. What is the function of hormones? These proteins communicate from one cell to another What are the functional groups common to all amino acids? amine and carboxylic acid This study source was downloaded by from CourseH on 02 -14-2022 16:28:24 GMT -06:00 Briefly describe the five major groupings of amino acids. The amino acids are grouped into 1) nonpolar, aliphatic 2) nonpolar and aromatic 3) polar but neutral, 4) acidic, and 5) basic. What is the name, one-letter abbreviation, and three-letter abbreviation of the following amino acid? Arginine, R, Arg This study source was downloaded by from CourseH on 02 -14-2022 16:28:24 GMT -06:00 What amino acid can form a disulfide bond? cysteine Which amino acid is the only one to have its side chain connected to the amine group? Proline Consider the following protein structure. Fill the blanks with the appropriate term below. The major type of secondary structure present in this protein is A . The protein’s overall tertiary structure is a B conformation. (select one: globular or fibrous). This study source was downloaded by from CourseH on 02 -14-2022 16:28:24 GMT -06:00 This protein has two polypeptide chains, which indicates it has C structure. (A) alpha helices (B) globular (C) quaternary Consider the following pentapeptide: ETYLVD. Which amino acid is at the N terminal? Which is at the C terminal? E is at the N-terminal, and D is at the C-terminal. Consider the following tetrapeptide. A) Use the three-letter abbreviations to write the representation of the following tetrapeptide. B) How many peptide bonds are in this This study source was downloaded by from CourseH on 02 -14-2022 16:28:24 GMT -06:00 peptide? A) Lys-Asp-Ile-Thr B) 3 peptide bonds connect four amino acids. Differentiate between protein tertiary structure and protein quaternary structure. Tertiary structure is the conformation or shape of a single polypeptide chain. Quaternary structure is the orientation of multiple subunits. Proteins typically adopt either a conformation that is fibrous or .

A competitive inhibitor binds at the active site of the enzyme. An uncompetitive inhibitor binds at a site distinct from the active site, but it still inhibits the enzyme. What three factors influence enzyme catalyzed reactions? pH, temperature, and concentration of enzyme and substrate This study source was downloaded by from CourseH on 02 -14-2022 16:28:24 GMT -06:00 This study source was downloaded by from CourseH on 02 -14-2022 16:28:24 GMT -06:00
