Study Notes
- Proteins are organic compounds made up of amino acids connected by peptide bonds.
- Proteins contain C, O, H, N, and sometimes S.
- The proteome is the complete set of proteins expressed by the genome.
- Proteomics is the study of the proteome.
- Amino acids are the subunits of polypeptides.
- All 20 amino acids have an amino group, carboxylic acid group, and an R group that varies.
- Polypeptide chains are formed by peptide bonds between amino acids.
- Protein structure includes primary, secondary, and tertiary levels.
- Primary structure is the linear order of amino acids in a polypeptide chain.
- Secondary structure includes alpha helices, beta-pleated sheets, and random coils.
