100

DNA -gene expression--->transcription --mRNA--> translation in ribosome ------> protein folding (function depends on shape // gene sequence is important)

What is the Central Dogma?
100

a molecule having a partial negative charge on oxygen with two lone pairs covalently attached to two hydrogens adopting partial positive charges.  

What is a water molecule?

100

can form from other molecules called ampholytes, or amphoteric compounds and can act as both an acid and a base. 

What is a Zwitterionic form?

100

A peptide bond may 

not freely rotate

100

nonprotein compound // used to designate an organic cofactor // necessary for the function of that enzyme

coenzyme

200

enchance biological rxns, decrease activation energy, NEVER change equalibrium, and don't get used up

What can enzymes do for a biochemical reaction?

200

good solvents for water

What are polar/charged molecules?

200

The polypeptide chain bond can freely rotate.

not at the polypeptide bond. phi and psi bonds rotate

200

Primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary 

What are the 4 protein level structure?

200

the structural unit of an oligomeric protein (subunits are identical)

protomer

300

delta G = delta H - Temperature in Kelvin delta S is free energy change. 

Endergonic

Exergonic 

Endothermic 

Exothermic 

unfavorable

favorable

absorb heat - reaction is cooler than the surrounding

release heat - reaction is hotter than surrounding

300

hydrogen bonds

ionic interactions

hydrophobic/philic interactions 

Van der Waals

What are 4 weak interactions?

300

proteins coming down a column to purify it based on size using beads. 

The large proteins would flow fast down and would not be kept in the column.

what is size-exclusion chromatography?

300

heat and cold

pH extremes

organic solvents

chaotropic agents: urea and guanidium hydrochloride

What can denature proteins?

300

nonprotein group // covalently attached cofactors 

prosthetic group

400

-30.5 jK/mol of free energy that allows a reaction to become more favorable

What is ATP?

400

Isotonic

Hypertonic

Hypotonic

What are the 3 cases that may happen based on the osmolarity?

400

Using TCEP can break what bonds?

What are disulfide bonds? 


btw, what are the two amino acids with S in their R groups?

400

An experiment using a small protein that contains 8 cystines linked via four disulfide bonds. In the presence of 2-mercaptoethanol and urea the disulfide bonds break and in absence of these chemicals they reform

What is the experiment of ribonuclease refolding experiment?

400

a functional non amino acid component such as

metal ions or organic molecules

cofactor

500

What is ATP?

500

It equals 14 when added together. 

What is pH and pOH? 

500

Successive rounds of Nterminal 

What is Edman degradation?

500

London forces 

Electrostatic 

Hydrogen bonds 

Hydrophobic effect

What are 4 weak interactions in proteins?

500

not all proteins fold spontaneiously therefore these facillitate correct folding pathways // provided mirco enivrionment for folding 


chaperones
