Document Summary
Bioc 2300 lecture 6 january 18, 2019 secondary, tertiary and quaternary protein structure. Most proteins are barely folded and are flexible so it can be easily for them to be misfolded and cause disease. The secondary structure is regarding localized folding, say, stripes of 10 to 20 amino acids that fold into a certain stable form. Nh and -cooh group, which are hydrophilic, polar groups. For those to exist in the hydrophobic interior of a protein, they have to hydrogen bond with each other to satisfy restraints. ] The tertiary structure is the 3d packing of the entire protein together. The quaternary structure would be multiple protein chains packing together. Proteins are shown in a few formats: backbone: it is the simplest, not as informative. It is a trace of the sequence with the -carbons shown: wireframe: sometimes is also called the stick model .
