Amino acids are monomers from which proteins are constructed. Understanding the structure and
characteris-tics of amino acids and the peptide bond that covalently links them to form peptides will
aid in understanding larger, more complex protein structures. Proteins carry out a multitude of different
and important functions. The great variety in function is accomplished through a complex and variable
polymeric structure. Comprehending protein structure will give you a better understanding of how proteins
carry out their roles.

Outcomes
1. Use the acid/base characteristics (pK, data) of the 20 amino acids found in proteins to determine the
charge of an amino acid at a given pH.
2. Determine the pI of a small peptide.
3. Identify the peptide bond and describe the structural features that characterize a peptide bond.
4. Use information processing skills to draw conclusions about chemical characteristics of complex
molecules.

A. The primary structure consists of the DNA sequence. The secondary and tertiary structures are dependent on interactions between the DNA and RNA polymerase. Mutations resulting in changes one or
more bases has the potential to destroy the structure, and therefore the function, of the protein.
B. The primary structure consists of the amino acid sequence. The secondary and tertiary structures are dependent on interactions between the amino acid side chains. Mutations resulting in changes one or more
amino acids has the potential to destroy the structure, and therefore the function, of the protein.
C. The primary structure consists of the DNA sequence. The secondary structure consists of the amino acid…

- What life uses proteins for? (functions of proteins) Describe protein structures. Describe the alpha helix and the beta sheet structure of proteins. Which structure is the most important in the function of a protein? Describe what can affect the protein structure. Why the structure of a protein is important?arrow_forwardDescribe the four levels of protein structures. Include information about the bond between amino acids, and for the third level of protein structure, discuss the other types of bond found there. Make sure you include hydrogen bonds, ionic bonds, and an example of covalent bonding.

- Determine whether the following statements describing protein structures is correct or incorrect. CORRECT INCORRECT Proteins in a primary structure consist of a simple polypeptide chain. Interactions between the R groups in amino acids form tertiary structure. Secondary structures are formed by multiple polypeptide chains The two types of secondary structures are the alpha and beta pleated sheetsarrow_forwardSelect the true statements about protein secondary structure. In an a-helix, the side chains are located on the outside of the helix. The secondary level of protein structure refers to the spatial arrangements of short segments of the protein. In a B-pleated sheet, the side chains are located between adjacent segments. Peptide bonds stabilize secondary structure. The x-helix is held together by hydrogen bonds between the amide N-H and C=O groups. Incorrectarrow_forwardWhich statement about quaternary structure is TRUE? Quaternary structure is unaffected by acids or heat. Quaternary structure is determined by the same interaction that holds an α-helix together. Quaternary structure is how prosthetic groups are held in a protein. Quaternary structure is the position of subunits in the overall structure of a protein. All proteins have quaternary structurearrow_forward
