Document Summary

Biol 222 lecture 15 proteins and trna. Biochemical reactions are catalyzed by enzymes that have 3-dimensional structures that are crucial for their function. Genes specify the structure of proteins: genes determine phenotypes. Proteins - macromolecules composed of amino acids: 20 different amino acids, each has a unique r group (side chain, amino acids are linked by peptide bonds. Primary structure - linear array of amino acids in a polypeptide. Secondary structure - polypeptides fold into repeating structures by forming hydrogen bonds: secondary h-bonds do not involve the r groups, -helix and -sheet. Tertiary structure - 3d structure of a protein generated by folding of the secondary structure: hydrogen bonds and other interactions, often involves interactions with the r groups. Quaternary structure - two or more folded polypeptides bound together forming a protein complex. Co-linearity of genes and proteins - charles yanofsky.
