Protein Structure and Function

1. Chapter 4 Protein Structure and Function

2. The shape of protein is specified by its amino acid sequence

3. Twenty amino acids are found in proteins

4. Three types of non-covalent bonds help protein to fold

5. Hydrophobic forces help protein form compact structures

6. Hydrogen bonds within protein molecule help stabilize the folded structure

7. Denatured protein can often recover their shapes

8. Protein misfortune can cause variety of diseases

9. Chaperon proteins can guide the folding of newly synthesized protein

10. Proteins come in variety of shapes and sizes

11. Protein conformation may be represented by different methods

12. Alpha-Helix and Beta-Sheets are the most common folding forms
