Protein Structure
Quaternary Structure
-
Quaternary Structure is essentially the full protein
- Made up of multiple tertiary structures. So in the picture, each of those coils is a tertiary structure (called subunits)
Tertiary Stucture
-
- Tertiary Structure are these strange phone coil looking structures. These tertiary structures are made through the interactions of the R side chains of the Amino Acids in the secondary structure
Secondary Structure
-
Alpha Helix
Alpha Helix looks like a corkscrew staircase. The structure stays intact because of H-bonding between the "rungs" of each staircase above and below
-
Structure made the H-bonding between the Hydrogen on the amine and the double bonded oxygen on the Carboxylic acid
Primary Structure
-
-
"String Analogy"
- As polypeptide chain gets longer, think of it like a string that gets longer and interacts with itself
