causes
disruption of the peptide
bonds causing liberation of
free amino acids
Protein Hydrolysis
carried out in the
presence of strong acids,
strong bases, and enzymes
(proteases).
Protein Hydrolysis
strong acids,
strong bases, and enzymes
proteases
Hydrolysis can be….
complete or
partial
causes disruption (unfolding) of a protein’s three – dimensional
structure due to the breakdown of the non-covalent interaction.
Denaturation
causes loss of biological activity
Denaturation
- Denaturation can be…
reversible or irreversible
term protein is derived from the Greek word
proteios
proteios means?
“of first importance.”
most important bioorganic molecule
PROTEINS
the protein occupies about how many of the total cell’s mass?
15% of total cell’s mass
What Makes Proteins Proteins?
- Proteins are naturally occurring
unbranched polymers of amino
acids connected together by
peptide bonds.

WHAT ARE THE 2 CLAASSFICIATION OF PROTEIN?
- FIBROUS PROTEINS
- GLOBULAR PROTEIN
– insoluble
in water and are used mainly
for structural purposes.
FIBROUS PROTEINS
more or
less soluble in water and are
used mainly for nonstructural purposes.
