How is a polypeptide formed ?
When more than two amino acids join together
2 of 18
What is the primary structure ?
The sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain
3 of 18
The secondary Structure forms which bonds ?
Hydrogen bonds
4 of 18
Does the secondary structure form a beta pleated sheet and a alpha helix, true or false ?
True
5 of 18
What bonds are formed in a tertiary structure ?
Ionic bonds, Disulfide bonds, Hydrophobic bonds, Hydrogen bonds
6 of 18
Does the tertiary structure form a 3D structure, True or False ?
True
7 of 18
Quaternary structure ?
Some protiens are made up of several different polypeptide chains
8 of 18
What is an ionic bond ?
Weak attrations between negative and possitive charges on a molecule.
9 of 18
What is a Disulfide bond ?
When two molecules of the amino acid cysteine come close together, forming a bond.
10 of 18
What is a Hydophobic bond ?
When hydrophobic groups are close together in the protien they tend to clump together.
11 of 18
What type of protien is Collagen
Fibrous
12 of 18
A Fibrous protien is made up of what chains ?
Three polypeptide chains, tightly coiled to into a strong triple helix
13 of 18
What bonds link the chains in a Fibrous protien ?
Covalent
14 of 18
Is Haemoglobin a globular protien, True or False ?
True
15 of 18
What is the structure of Haemoglobin ?
It has a curled structure, hydrophilic chains on outside, hydrophobic chains on inside
16 of 18
How are globular protiens adapted to their jobs ?
Round and compact, soluble so they are transported in fluids
17 of 18
How are fibrous protiens adapted to their jobs ?
Tough and rope shaped, supportive
