Amino Acids
The chemical reaction binding two amino acids together and a loss of water
Dehydration Synthesis/ Condensation Reaction
This describes the primary structure of a protein.
a sequence of amino acids
These are biological catalysts
enzymes
The monomer unit of proteins
amino acids
The chemical test for reducing sugars
Benedict's test
The chemical reaction required to break peptide bonds
Hydrolysis
The two secondary structures in proteins
alpha helix & beta pleated sheet
Great folding of proteins occur due to these types of interaction
hydrophobic interactions
The macromolecule made up of fatty acids & glycerol
Lipids
The biochemical test for protein
Biuret's test
The bond that exists between amino acids in proteins
peptide bond
Collagen and haemoglobin are __ __ __ __ __ __ __ and __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ proteins respectively.
fibrous and globular
The two hypotheses for how enzymes work
1) Lock and key hypothesis
2) Induced fit hypothesis
The polymer of nucleotides
nucleic acids
The colour change of a positive protein test
Biuret's solution changes from blue to purple
This is a chain of amino acids
polypeptide
Multiple polypeptide chains interacting.
quaternary structure of a protein
The two main factors which can denature enzymes
Temperature and pH
The subunit of carbohydrates
glucose
Increasing enzyme concentration has this effect on the rate of a reaction
It increases the rate
The two terminal groups of an amino acid that give the macromolecule its name
amino group & carboxyl group
The four main types of bonding interactions in tertiary level of protein organization.
Ionic, hydrogen, disulphide and hydrophobic interaction.
DAILY DOUBLE: This describes the behavior of globular proteins in water
soluble, they dissolve
The monomer unit of enzymes
amino acids
This site on certain enzymes facilitates a negative feedback mechanism.
allosteric site
