| Protein Structure and FunctionLearning Goals1. List the functions of proteins. 2. Draw the general structure of an amino acid and classify amino acids based on their R groups. 3. Describe the primary structure of proteins and draw the structure of the peptide bond. 4. Draw the structure of small peptides and name them. 5. Describe the types of secondary structure of a protein. 6. Discuss the forces that maintain secondary structure. 7. Describe the structure and functions of fibrous proteins. 8. Describe the tertiary and quaternary structure of a protein. 9. List the R group interactions that maintain protein conformation. 10. List examples of proteins that require prosthetic groups and explain the way in which they function. 11. Discuss the importance of the threedimensional structure of a protein to its function. 12. Describe the roles of hemoglobin and myoglobin. 13. Describe how extremes of pH and temperature cause denaturation of proteins. 14. Explain the difference between essential and nonessential amino acids. | |
