Proteins are complex bio-chemicals containing?...
Carbon, oxygen,hydrogen
Carbon , hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulphur
Oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, hydrogen
Proteins are made up of amino acids
Proteins are p__________________
Polysaccharides
Peptides
Protons
Polymers
If proteins are polymers ,and are made up of amino acids, then amino acids must be monosaccharides.
Some amino acids form Benzine ring structures
Carbohydrates form glycosidic bonds Lipids peptide bonds and Proteins form ester bonds during condensation reaction
A peptide bond can be reversed by hydrolisis
Roughly how many amino acids make 1 protein?
50
100
1000
10
5
In a protein on which side is the amino acid group found? And what is it called in terms of 'terminus'?
Right & N-terminus
Left & N-terminus
Left & C-terminus
Right & C-terminus
In a protein on which side is the carboxyl group found? And what is it called in terms of terminus?
How many different amino acids are found in nature?
45
15
16
20
How many amino acids are in a dipeptide?
3
2
4
Water is released during a hydrolysis reaction.
What's the only difference between different amino acids?
Length of carbon chain
Their names
R group
Amount of atoms
What is the name of the test for proteins?
Biuret
Iodine
Emulsion
Benedict's
Biuret test: to test the sample it first has to be ________________ so you add a few drops of ___________________________________.
Acidic , Hydrochloric acid
Alkaline, Copper (II) Sulfate
Acidic, sodium hydroxide
Alkaline, Sodium hydroxide
Then you add copper (II) sulfate so the solution changes colour
If the result is positive the solutions turns...?
White
Purple
Blue
Orange, yellow, green, red or brown
The primary structure of proteins is made up of monomers called amine acids
Depending on the sequence of amino acids in the primary structure the secondary structure will be in the shape of a a-helix or b-pleated sheet...this is due to what type of bonding?
Ionic
Covalent
Disulfide bridges
Hydrogen
Van der waals
The tertiary structure is even more coiled/folded... what causes this?
Ionic, hydrogen and covalent bonding
Ionic, disufide bridges and covalent bonding
Hydrogen, covalent and disulphide bridges
Van der waals, ionic, disulphide bridges and hydrogen bonding
Sometimes the tertiary structure is the last structure of a protein
Disulfide bridges occur between two cysteine amino acids in the polypeptide chain(s).
Between the two cystein amino acids bond by the sulphur atoms...this is ionic bonding.
the quaternary structure is how different polypeptide chains are held together by bonds.
Which do not use proteins
immune response
digestion
structure
diffusion
temperature maintenance
respiration
