Document Summary

Each protein has different functions, structural, organizational roles. Distinct amino acid composition, distinct order in which the amino acids are joined together in any individual molecule. 3d dimensional shape to give functions to proteins. Amino acid is very distinctive molecule, central carbon(considered a-semestric, four side chained attached to carbon, attached to central carbon) R-group, variable group attached to the carbon, different in every amino acid, while other three always remain the same. Proteins- amino acids put together to form a polymer, carboxyl group of 1 amino acid--- peptide linkage for proteins to join two amino acids. Strong covalenbt linkage holding both amino acids together. All living organisms use all 20 basic amino acids. 3 very broad geoupings of amino acids, 9 that are non-polar hydrophobic amino acids, r- group gives this distinction. Glyceine is a very simple amino acid, proelene in lab 2, cystene contains sulphur. Secondary structure makes folding structure to make functional protein.
