R |group |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-a |functional |group |that |defines |a |particular |amino |acid |that |
makes |it |a |specific |protein |(20 |amino |acids) |aka |side |chain
alpha |carbon |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-the |central |carbon |atom |of |each |amino |acid
amino |acid |backbone |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-The |structure |comprised |of |the |amino |group, |
carboxyl |group |with |a |central |alpha |carbon |atom.
Hydrophobic |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-non |polar, |afraid |of |water
polar |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Amino |acid |Molecule |with |partial |charges. |Mixes |with |water.
charged |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Amino |acid |has |a |positive |or |negative |charge
Polypeptide |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-A |single |protein |chain |formed |by |amino |acids |bonded |
together
peptide |bond |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-The |chemical |bond |that |forms |between |the |carboxyl |
group |of |one |amino |acid |and |the |amino |group |of |another |amino |acid |by |dehydration |( |In |
which |a |water |molecule |is |removed, |C-N |bond)
, Hydrolysis |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Peptide |bonds |can |be |broken |by |this...A |chemical |process |
that |splits |a |molecule |by |adding |water. |( |this |happened |frequently |in |the |stomach |when |
proteins |begin |to |bee |digested |into |their |amino |acids)
Residue |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Remaining |portion |of |amino |acids |after |linked |by |peptide |
bonds |( |how |R |groups |get |their |name)
N-terminus |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-the |end |of |a |polypeptide |or |protein |that |has |a |free |amino
|group |( |usually |on |the |left)
C-terminus |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-the |end |of |a |polypeptide |or |protein |that |has |a |free |
carboxyl |group |( |usually |on |the |right)
primary |structure |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-sequence |of |amino |acids |in |a |polypeptide |aka |
amino |acid |chain
secondary |structure |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Shape |formed |by |hydrogen |bonding |of |amino |
acid |back |bone- |usually |an |alpha |helix |or |beta |sheet
tertiary |structure |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-The |third |level |of |protein |structure; |the |overall, |
three-dimensional |shape |of |a |polypeptide |due |to |interactions |of |the |R |groups |of |the |amino |
acids |making |up |the |chain. |Complex |folding- |critical |to |proper |functioning
quaternary |structure |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Results |from |multiple |polypeptide |subunits. |
Held |together |by |R |group |interactions
subunit |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Each |polypeptide |chain |that |is |part |of |a |larger |protein
