Chapter 5, Problem 12TYU

WRITE ABOUT A THEME: ORGANIZATION Proteins, which have diverse functions in a cell, are all polymers of the same kinds of monomers—amino acids. Write a short essay (100–150 words) that discusses how the structure of amino acids allows this one type of polymer to perform so many functions.

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. Why 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. Plan 1. Form teams as instructed. 2. The person whose…
Protein structure is directly related to function. Which of the following statements is true regarding this concept ? Polypeptide backbone -CH2 – CH, – CH2- CH2- NH3 0-c- CH - CH2 lonic bond Hydrogen ! bond C- NH2 Disulfide linkage CH CH2 HạC CH3 CH3 H3C CH -CH2 Hydrophobic interactions 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…
