WARM UP 1/29/16 1. Name the six functional groups. 2. Draw the STRUCTURAL formula for each one.
2
PROTEINS
3
Proteins = Polypeptides Production: in the ribosomes through the process of protein synthesis Monomer: amino acids (20 total) (assembled together based on DNA instructions and connected by a peptide bond) Elements: C, H, O, N
4
Recognize protein structure by looking for NH 2 on one side and COOH on the other side
5
Structures Primary (1 ) – sequence of AA Secondary (2 ) – folds as alpha helix and pleated sheet Tertiary (3 ) – folded and coiled – now functional Quaternary (4 ) – more than 1 folded

7
Proteins can be found in: Meats Eggs Eye color Hair Skin Muscle YOU!
8
Examples Enzymes – speed up reactions by lowering activation energy Hemoglobin – carries oxygen Insulin – controls blood sugar Keratin & Collagen – structure & support Muscles – contraction Channel Proteins – transport Antibodies – defense against pathogens (bad things)
9
Denature – unfolding or unbending of a protein Caused by a temperature or pH change EX: Cooking an egg = denaturing by applying heat
