Document Summary

Proteostasis: maintaining the function of proteins and how they folding; protein folding of undergoes to a folding intermediate through the help of chaperones proteins. Proteins also undergo turnover and become degraded when it is misfolded. Sometimes the protein that is misfolded will aggregate together. Thermodynamics: every state of a protein has a certain free energy and if there is a move a phi or psi angle, there can be a change in the delta g value. If the change from the unfolded to folded is spontaneous, then the value of delta g is negative. ***when protein is folding, you are actually going against entropy whereas if it is unfolded, it is increasing entropy. Therefore, the hydrophobic effect and the internal interactions are just enough to match/cancel out the conformation entropy. Bond breakage: energy needed to break the bond (positive value) Bond formation: negative of the bond break value, energy that is needed to break the bond)
