Protein Function
Most enzymes belong to this biological macromolecule group
what is proteins
This organelle is the site of protein synthesis
what is ribosome
The sequence of amino acids in a protein is known as this level of structure
what is Primary structure
This amino acid is the start codon in translation
what is Methionine
This keeps and maintains a regular balance of fluids and pH in different body regions
what is Fluid and acid-base balance
Hemoglobin transports this essential molecules throughout your body
what is oxygen
The process of copying DNA into mRNA is called this
what is transcription
Hydrogen bonds between backbone atoms create this shape found in many proteins
what is Alpha helix or beta sheet(secondary structure)
There are this many essential amino acids
what is 9
This defense protein protects body from foreign invaders
what is antibodies
Actin and myosin are proteins involved in this body process
what is muscles contraction
Three mRNA nucleotides that code for one amino acid
what is codon
This type of interaction between R groups determines tertiary structure
what is side-chain interaction(hydrophobic interactions, hydrogen bonds, ionic bonds, and disulfide bridges)
This amino acid forms a rigid ring and is often found where the protein bends
what is proline
This structural protein is the main component of hair, nails and skin
what is Keratin
antibodies are proteins that help with this specific system function
what is immune defense
tRNA uses this region to match the mRNA codon
what is anticodon
The level of structure formed when multiple polypeptide chains join together
what is quaternary structure
These two functional groups are linked together by a carbon atom
what is Basic amino group and carboxylic acid group
this enzyme begins the breakdown of starch
what is amylase
This protein hormone helps regulate blood glucose levels
what is insulin
The polypeptide grows at this end of the chain?
what is C-terminus
This strong covalent bond stabilizes protein folding, especially in cysteine-rich proteins
what is a disulfide bond
This amino acid is important to muscle growth, tissue regeneration and making energy
what is Valine
This protein in red blood cells binds oxygen in the lungs and transports it
what is Hemoglobin
