3. The structure and properties of amino acids and the peptide bonds that link them together determine the structure and properties of proteins. Explain how amino acids and peptide properties dictate protein structure and, therefore, their function.
Each amino acid contains different side chains. These side chains are responsible for the unique character of amino acids. The chemical properties of amino acids like electrostatic interactions, acid - base property, hydrophobicity, hydrogen bonding etc. are determined by these amino acids. These interactions between the side chains of amino acids dictate their structure and function.

Identify the structure of amino acids, and describe the process by which they join together to form polypeptides. Describe the 4 different groups of amino acids and their properties (Neutral, Polar, Acidic, Basic). Describe the levels of structure of proteins (primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary), including what bonds and interactions occur at EACH level. Describe denaturation of a protein and indicate how temperature and pH affect the protein functions. Describe the major functions of proteins
7.Draw the basic structure of an amino acid dimer (two amino acids bound together); label an amine, carboxyl, side chainand peptide bond. 8.Define primary and tertiary protein structure. How does the tertiary structure depend on the primary structure?
A peptide bond between two amino acids is what type of functional group? Ketone O Ester Amide O Disulfide Aldehyde The tertiary structure of a proteins is NOT held together by which type of bond/interaction? Hydrogen bond Electrostatic interactions Hydrophobic interactions Peptide bond Disulfide bonds
9. The bond linking together amino acids to form peptides is called a atom of atom of the amine group. bond. This involves a covalent bond linking the the carboxylate group of one amino acid to the 10. Peptides are classi fied according to the number of amino acids linked together. As such, peptides containing 2, 3, and 4 amino acids would be classified as a(n) , and respectively. A peptide containing five or more amino acid is a(n) 11....
Proteins are made from chains of amino acids. The amino acids are joined together by structures called peptide bonds. Draw the dipeptide that results when a peptide bond is formed between the two glycine molecules shown here. (Figure 1) Draw it as it would occur at the pHpH of most body fluids. Draw the molecule on the canvas by choosing buttons from the Tools (for bonds), Atoms, and Advanced Template toolbars. The single bond is active by default. Include all...

help with 10 and 11 10. In protein structure, adjacent amino acids are connected to each other through amide bonds. i) Draw any three amino acids connected via amide bond. (7 pts) ii) Highlight the amide bonds in 10. i) (3 pts) 11. Briefly explain the differences between alpha-helix and beta-pleated sheets in Secondary structure of proteins. (10 pts)
Describe the chemical properties of amino acids and discuss how they can affect the final structure of a folded protein. In your answer, give examples of amino acid substitutions that could cause changes to a protein’s structure and function
Protein Structure A protein contains a string of amino acids (usually more than 50) that has a biological function. 15ecause proteins are so large, their structure has several levels, all of which are important for the proper functioning of the protein. Ultimately, the sequence of amino acids (ordering of polar and nonpolar amino acids) dictates the 3-dimensional shape of a protein and this dictates its primary function. Level 1: Primary (1") The amino acid sequence of a polypeptide Protein Backbone...
