Secondary protein structure?
The secondary structure of protein:the ordered 3-d arrangements in localized area of a polypeptide chaininteractions of the peptide backbone (s-trans and planar)example of secondary structure : alpha-helix and beta-pleated sheet
Differentiate between secondary and tertiary structure by describing the parts of the polypeptide chain that participates in the bonds that hold together each level of structure?
Secondary tertiary is the R groups interactions that are ionic. The polypeptide chain also has disulfide bond, and hydrophobic interactions.
What is a ameno acid?
An amino acid is a molecule containing nitrogen, carbon and hydrogen as well as an 'R' group which can contain many different elements. They are often joined together in a polypeptide chain which is then folded into alpha-helix and beta pleated sheet. It is then folded again into the tertiary structure and many of these tertiary structures come together to form proteins like haemoglobin or enzymes.

Name two types of secondary protein structure Explain the role of hydrogen bonds in maintaining secondary structure?
alpha Helix and Beta pleated sheet
How can you distinguish between primary secondary tertiary and quaternary structures of proteins and can you give an example of each?
Primary structure of proteins refers to the exact sequence of the amino acids in the polypeptide chain. Secondary structure refers to the shape acquired by the backbone of the polypeptide chain when hydrogen bonds form between the carboxylic group of one amino acid and the amide group of another amino acid. there are two shapes in secondary structured proteins: Alpha Helix and Beta-pleated sheet tertiary structure refers to the shape taken up by the polypeptide chain as a result of bonds formed between the R-groups of the amino acids. three types of bonding may exist: Hydrgen bond, ionic bond and /or disulphide bonds.

What can form a structure such as a helix or a sheet?
A polypeptide chain, which is the primary structure of a protein, can fold into secondary structures such as an alpha-helix or a beta-sheet.
Differentiate between secondary and tertiary structure by describing the parts of the polypeptide chain that participates in the bonds that hold together each level of structure?
Secondary tertiary is the R groups interactions that are ionic. The polypeptide chain also has disulfide bond, and hydrophobic interactions.
Betta pleated sheets are characterized by?
folds stabilized by hydrogen bonds between segments of the polypeptide backbone.
What is the tertiary structure for a protein?
'The Quaternary structure of a protein is the 4th level of folding for a protein. An example of this would be a red blood cell, which is a quaternary structure, it is made up of alpha helicies and also beta pleated in the tertiary structure. The Quaternary structure of a protein contains 4 tertiary structures in it.
How do you predict the 3-D structure of a protein with respect to bio-informatics?
There are three main protein structures. Primary, secondary, and tertiary.Primary Structure:- This structure consists of a linear, unbranched polypeptide strand. This structure is established by covalent bondingSecondary Structure:- There are two different types of secondary structures of proteins; α-helix and β-pleated. This type of protein structure is maintained by hydrogen bonding. An example of a α-helix is DNA.Tertiary Structure:- This is structure is maintained by Hydrogen bonding, disulfide linkages and van der Waals forces. It usually consists of two or more polypeptide chains. An example is the K+/Na+ pumps found on the surface of the plasma membrane.And, for proteins constituted by more than one polypeptidic chain, there's also a Quaternary Structure, which results from the association among the chains. As examples, insulin and hemoglobin are proteins with quaternary structure.
If a protein contains three polypeptide chains that are held together by bonding forces what kind of structure does the protein have?
The protein has a quaternary structure.In addition, each polypeptide chain has a primary, secondary, and tertiary structure.The primary structure is the sequence of amino acids in a chain.The secondary structure is the next higher level of arrangement of a chain in space, for example coiling into a alpha-helix, shaping into a beta-pleated sheet, or forming into a turn or loop.Tertiary structure is a yet higher-level folding of the chain into its final three-dimensional shape.Some proteins have only one chain, but if there are two or more, the combination of these chains to form the functional protein is the quaternary structure.
Structure of keratin?
Alpha keratin has alpha helix structure and beta keratin has beta pleated sheet structure.
The alpha helix and pleated sheet are examples of?
secondary structure of a protein
What is a difference in the structure of proteins and polysaccharides?
Polysaccharides are essentially many carbon sugar "rings" linked together. They are carbohydrates, and our bodies break them down into monosaccharides (single "rings") to gain energy. To provide energy is their main function. In contrast, a peptide bond is formed between two amino acids via dehydration synthesis. Amino acids are the monomers for proteins within the body, who function in part to catalyze reactions and carry out other directions of DNA. Many peptide bonded amino acids = a polypeptide. The most basic difference would be that polypeptides are proteins, where as polysaccharides are carbohydrates.
What is distinctive about primary vs secondary protein structure?
The primary structure of a protein is just an amino acid string; a polypeptide. The secondary structure of a protein is the hydrogen bonding of the side chains that form the polypeptide chain into alpha helices and beta sheets.
What type of protein shape is characterized by the alpha helix or a flat-pleated sheet?
secondary structure
