Document Summary

O polypeptide chain becomes carbonyl carbon becomes amide nitrogen main chain/peptide backbone = everything except for the. Note: sometimes, 1 polypeptide chain is a protein, while other times, many polypeptide chains constitute a protein. The order of amino acids is important: this is leu-enkephalin (a pentapeptide of tyr-gly-gly-phe-leu, note that if not stated, you can automatically assume that the left end is the n- terminus and the right end is the c-terminus. It is a natural opioid peptide which down regulates the perception of pain. Thursday, january 11th, 2018: however, the pentapeptide leu-phe-gly-gly-tyr has no pharmacological effects since the nh2 cooh orientation of the peptide is essential for function. R-group/sidechain does not form the h-bonds/stabilize the alpha helix formed with an amino acid 4 amino acids away. Purple = r group: h-bonds, again, stabilize the beta sheet, r-groups do not form the h-bonds/stabilize the beta sheet.

The sequence is most probably part of a(n):

a. beta turn

b. antiparallel beta sheet

c. alpha-helix

d. parallel beta-sheet

2. Which statement about peptides bonds is NOT TRUE?

There is perfectly free rotation about the peptide bond.

The peptide bond has partial double-bond character.

The peptide bond is shorter than a normal carbon-nitrogen single bond.

The peptide bond usually has a trans configuration with respect to the alpha-carbons of the two amino acids involved in the peptide bond.

Peptide bonds are made via condensation of an amine and a carboxylic acid with loss of water.

3. Which of the following statements about proteins is FALSE?

	Active proteins are generally very loosely structured.
	In water-soluble proteins, hydrophobic amino acid residues are generally buried and not exposed to water.
	Primary structure determines tertiary structure.
	Secondary structure is regular, recurring arrangements in space of nearby amino acid residues in a polypeptide.
	Quaternary structure involves the interaction of subunits in a protein with more than one polypeptide chain.
