Phosphorylation: a phosphate group can be added to these r-groups (cid:862) tnqy(cid:863) Primary and secondary protein structure (protein structure and function. How a protein folds is determined by the sequence of amino acids: Beta sheet (bends that interacted between each other with hydrogen) Folding creates domains with specific functions within a protein. Weak force, hang out with other hydrophobic r groups. Partial negative or positive charge, weak attractions, important when things get close. Important when two macromolecular surfaces fit very close together because many atoms are involved. Weak chemical reactions, occur and stabilize the structure when the two proteins perfectly fit into each other. Buffering, titration curves and introduction to amino acids. Lechatlier"s prin(cid:272)iple- if a dynamic equilibrium is disturbed by changing the conditions, the position of equilibrium moves to counteract the change. Increase the concentration of a-drives reaction to the left, an increase in ab, but in the process, using up. B, concentration of b will drop ph buffers.
