Proteins Enzymes are Proteins
Proteins
• Proteins: a chain of amino acids
• 20 different amino acids are found in proteins
Amino Acid Structure
Amino Acid + Amino Acid
• Amino acids are linked together via covalent bonds (electrons are shared).
• Does this polymer have more or less energy than NaCl? Why?
Dehydration Synthesis
• H2O molecule is released
• When talking about proteins, it links together amino acids. • aka peptide bond formation
Dehydration Synthesis
Linking Amino Acids
Dehydration Synthesis
• Practice
Protein Folding
• Charges on proteins interact • Positively charged • Negatively charged• Polar • Non- polar
• Which charges “like” each other?
• Which charges “dislike” each other?
