Chapter 5, Problem 12TYU

WRITE ABOUT A THEME: ORGANIZATION Proteins, which have diverse functions in a cell, are all polymers of the same kinds of monomers—amino acids. Write a short essay (100–150 words) that discusses how the structure of amino acids allows this one type of polymer to perform so many functions.

Amino acids are monomers from which proteins are constructed. Understanding the structure and characteris-tics of amino acids and the peptide bond that covalently links them to form peptides will aid in understanding larger, more complex protein structures. Proteins carry out a multitude of different and important functions. The great variety in function is accomplished through a complex and variable polymeric structure. Comprehending protein structure will give you a better understanding of how proteins carry out their roles. Why Outcomes 1. Use the acid/base characteristics (pK, data) of the 20 amino acids found in proteins to determine the charge of an amino acid at a given pH. 2. Determine the pI of a small peptide. 3. Identify the peptide bond and describe the structural features that characterize a peptide bond. 4. Use information processing skills to draw conclusions about chemical characteristics of complex molecules. Plan 1. Form teams as instructed. 2. The person whose…
Select the true statements about protein secondary structure. In an a-helix, the side chains are located on the outside of the helix. The secondary level of protein structure refers to the spatial arrangements of short segments of the protein. In a B-pleated sheet, the side chains are located between adjacent segments. Peptide bonds stabilize secondary structure. The x-helix is held together by hydrogen bonds between the amide N-H and C=O groups. Incorrect
Describe the four levels of protein structures. Include information about the bond between amino acids, and for the third level of protein structure, discuss the other types of bond found there. Make sure you include hydrogen bonds, ionic bonds, and an example of covalent bonding. Explain why not all proteins form a quaternary structure.
