1.1. Proteins are biological polymers constructed from amino acid Proteins are biological polymers constructed from amino acid monomers. Each different protein has a unique structure and function, monomers. Each different protein has a unique structure and function, and protein diversity is based upon these different arrangements of a and protein diversity is based upon these different arrangements of a universal set of amino acids.universal set of amino acids.
2.2. There are eight major functional classes of proteins: 1) structural There are eight major functional classes of proteins: 1) structural proteins; 2) contractile proteins; 3) storage proteins; 4) defense proteins; proteins; 2) contractile proteins; 3) storage proteins; 4) defense proteins; 5) transport proteins; 6) receptor proteins; 7) hormone proteins; 8) 5) transport proteins; 6) receptor proteins; 7) hormone proteins; 8) enzymes.enzymes.

33.. Amino acids have the same basic structure, with the amino Amino acids have the same basic structure, with the amino group and carboxyl group bonded to a central C atom (the alpha group and carboxyl group bonded to a central C atom (the alpha C). This central carbon also has an attached H atom and a C). This central carbon also has an attached H atom and a chemical group called the "R" group. chemical group called the "R" group.
4.4. It is the "R" group that is the variable part of the amino acid and It is the "R" group that is the variable part of the amino acid and determines the specific properties of each of the 20+ amino acids determines the specific properties of each of the 20+ amino acids in proteins. in proteins.
5.5. Amino acids are linked together by dehydration synthesis, with Amino acids are linked together by dehydration synthesis, with the resulting covalent linkages called peptide bonds.the resulting covalent linkages called peptide bonds.

four (4) successive levels of structure, each determined by the four (4) successive levels of structure, each determined by the previous level. previous level.
a.a. The primary structure is the sequence of amino acids The primary structure is the sequence of amino acids forming forming the polypeptide chain. the polypeptide chain.
b.b. The secondary structure consists of polypeptide chain coils The secondary structure consists of polypeptide chain coils or or folds held in place by hydrogen bonding between the - N - H folds held in place by hydrogen bonding between the - N - H
and the - C = O groups along the backbone of the chain. and the - C = O groups along the backbone of the chain. Coiling or folding of a polypeptide chain usually results in Coiling or folding of a polypeptide chain usually results in
one one of two repeating structures, either an alpha-helix or a beta-of two repeating structures, either an alpha-helix or a beta-pleated sheet. pleated sheet.

c.c. Tertiary structure is the overall 3-dimensional shape of a Tertiary structure is the overall 3-dimensional shape of a polypeptide; tertiary structure is maintained by bonding polypeptide; tertiary structure is maintained by bonding (hydrogen, ionic and covalent [disulfide bridges]) and hydrophobic (hydrogen, ionic and covalent [disulfide bridges]) and hydrophobic or hydrophilic interactions between the "R" groups of various or hydrophilic interactions between the "R" groups of various amino acids in the polypeptide chain.amino acids in the polypeptide chain.
d.d. Quaternary structure is produced by the bonding interactions of Quaternary structure is produced by the bonding interactions of two (2) or more polypeptide subunits. Quaternary structure is two (2) or more polypeptide subunits. Quaternary structure is maintained by hydrogen bonding, ionic interactions, and maintained by hydrogen bonding, ionic interactions, and hydrophobic interactions.hydrophobic interactions.
