Document Summary

A polypeptide of three amino acids linked by peptide bonds: Aminoacids came together to form this tripeptide. Valine, alanine, phenylalanine are all hydrophobic (non-polar) Key concepts (no need to memorize amino acid structures) Non-polar amino acids have a hydrocarbon side-chain (e. g. alanine; -ch3) Polar amino acids have side-chains with - partial charge (polar uncharged) Or net (+) charge e. g. lysine -4(ch2)nh3. Or net (-) charge e. g. aspartic acid co2. The shape of the folded protein is encoded in the polypeptide sequence. A major class of molecules that give rise to: The dual properties of phospholipids allow them to form barriers. A steroid is composed of 4 carbon rings. A (adenine) and g (guanine) = purines (bulkier) T (thymine) and c (cytosine) = pyrimidines. Together, give dna the ability to form a double helix, a particular structure, and it means it will form a great number of hydrogen bonds. Dna is a double helix = two strands linked together.
