PROTEIN - Coggle Diagram
PROTEIN
-
Monomers of protein
Amino Acid
Peptide bond
The covalent bond joining neighbouring amino acid together in proteins, formed by a condensation reaction
-
-
-
Secondary structure
-
In an α helix, the carbonyl (C=O) of one amino acid is hydrogen bonded to the amino H (N-H) of an amino acid that is four down the chain.
In a β pleated sheet, two or more segments of a polypeptide chain line up next to each other, forming a sheet-like structure held together by hydrogen bonds
The structure of a protein molecule resulting from the regular filing or folding of the chain of amino acids
Tertiary structure
The compact structure if protein molecule resulting from the 3 dimensional coiling of the chain of amino acids
-
There is 4 type of bonds
Hydrogen Bond
-
Form between strongly polar group (-NH-, -CO-, and -OH)
-
-
-
Quaternary Structure
3 demenstional arraignment of two or more polypeptides or of a polypeptides and a non-protein component (such as haem)
-
-
Globular Proteins
-
Usually curl up so that their non-polar, hydrophobic R group point into the centre
The polar, hydrophilic R groups remain on the outside of the molecule
-
Fibrous Proteins
A protein whose molecules have a relatively long, thin structure that is generally insoluble and metabolically inactive
example Collagen
-
The 3 helical polypeptides are wound around each other forming a three-stranded 'rope' or 'triple helix'
