BMEN 2501 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Lipid Bilayer, Green Fluorescent Protein, Beta Sheet
Document Summary
Bmen 2501 lecture notes from 9/12/16 on ch 2-4. Includes: benefits of condensation reactions, protein families with descriptions and examples. Identify all protein types and examples: describe the structure of ab (antibody) proteins, understand the utility of ab in biomedical engineering field. Advantages of condensation reactions: readily reversible by hydrolysis (lots of water in the cell, allows cells to breakdown and recycle subunits to build new marcromolecules. Enzymes: end in -ase , everywhere- inside the cell and nucleus as well as outside the cell, work by inducing a conformational change on another protein, proteins used to catalyze reactions. Structural proteins: inside the cell- microtubules in cytosol provide cell structure ex. Actin: outside the cell- extracellular matrix proteins ex. Motor proteins: move other proteins or nucleic acids around inside the cell, ex. Myosin (goes up and down actin fiber to carry large proteins around: ex. Kinesin (moves proteins up and down the microtubule: not relying on diffusion.
