Protein Functions
Amino acid
Hydrophobic proteins
CH2, CH3 rich (hydrocarbon groups), benzene ring, except tyrosine - slightly hydrophilic
Where are hydrophobic amino acids
more on the inside, facing phospholipids, phospholipid bilayer - does not want to face hydrophilic parts
Properties of hydrophilic amino acids
NH2, hydroxyl group
Glycine
special, hydrophobic but slightly polar
Proline
hydrophobic, cyclic
Cysteine
slightly polar, form disulfide bonds
What makes bonds in secondary structures
Carboxyl and amino groups making non covalent bonds
What makes bonds in tertiary structures
R groups
Quaternary structure
hemoglobin, not all proteins have quat structure
