This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Nitrogen compounds - Proteins, heating, mechanical agitation and adding polar organic compounds to destroy hydrogen bonding, structural features primary shows linear arrangement of amino acids in proteins, Peptide bonds between carboxyl group of one amino acid, carboxyl group of one amino acid and amino group of another, Proteins have structural features, shows linear arrangement of amino acids in proteins and covalent linkages such as -S-S- between amino acids, large number of non-covalent interactions between amino acids Van Der Waals' between non-polar groups, structural features quaternary non-covalent (hydrophobic) interactions, Proteins are formed by Peptide bonds, introducing charged species, (eg, acids/alkali and salts) to disrupt/destroy ionic bonding, van de Waals' forces and pd-pd interactions, areas of coiling within proteins alpha-helix stablised by hydrogen bonding, bind multiple polypeptide into a single, larger protein, structural features tertiary overall 3-dimensional structure of protein, overall 3-dimensional structure of protein involves folding/coiling of chain Fibrous protein - polypeptide chains folded parallel to one another to produce twisted helices/pleated sheets - insoluble in aq solution - support for structural materials, areas of coiling within proteins beta-pleated sheets stablised by hydrogen bonding, disrupting secondary and tertiary structure by heating, mechanical agitation and adding polar organic compounds, structural features secondary areas of coiling within proteins, large number of non-covalent interactions between amino acids disulphide linkages Eg: -CH2-S-S-CH2-, Proteins are made up of alpha-amino acids (only for natural proteins in the body), alpha-amino acids (only for natural proteins in the body) H2N-CH(R)-COOH R can be: - hydrophobic - hydrophilic - negatively charged - positively charged groups
