BIOL 1500 Study Guide - Midterm Guide: Alpha Helix, Hydrogen Bond, Beta Sheet
Document Summary
Anything written outside the box will not be graded. [4 marks 1 mark per level]. helices or beta sheets via hydrogen bonding: secondary: initial folding of the protein. Neighboring amino acids associate to form alpha: tertiary: further folding due to association of amino acids that lie further away from each other (i. e. n- and c-terminus). An example of a bond that forms here is the disulphide bond. The tertiary structure would provide the most info with regard to potential drug targets because this structure allows for 3d visualization of the organization of the protein and so allows regions such as binding sites to be visualized.
