1 Chemical Composition of the Body

2 Proteins Composed of ____________. How many?
Made up of 3 functional groups: ______________ Info to make proteins??

3 Fig 2.26

4 The Making of a Protein Via dehydration synthesis.
Formation of ____________ leads to di________, tri__________, oligo__________, poly____________ 1 structure Polypeptide chains varie in length from 3 to 4,500 amino acids. Fig 2.27

5 Levels of Protein Structure
Fig 2.28

6 Tertiary Protein Structure
What determines the function of the protein? Weak bonds of tertiary structure lead to easy ______________ by pH and Temp. Reversible? Fig 2.29

7 Protein Structure, cont.
Some functional proteins are composed of multiple polypeptide chains covalently bonded together.  = ________________ Examples

8 Conjugated Proteins Protein must combine with other molecule to become functional Glycoprotein = Protein + ________ Examples: some hormones, proteins in cell membranes  often function as ____________ Lipoprotein = Protein + ______ Examples: in cell membranes, carrier molecules in blood

9 Protein Functions Can you name some?
Structural: collagen fibers in connective tissues; keratin in skin Enzymes: assist every chemical process in the body Hormones Antibodies = protective: part of the immune system Receptors: receive communication from other cells for regulation of cell activity Carriers: across cell membranes or in blood Enzymes Membrane transporters Signal molecules Receptors Binding proteins Immunoglobulins Regulatory proteins

10 Nucleic Acids Name the types: Building blocks of nucleic acids?
Composition?
