PROTEINS EXERCISE

Name ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Id number __________Group_______

(

We have to include them in our daily diet because the human body doesnt synthetize

them

Neurotransmitters (serotonin,
dopamin )

It corresponds to the sequence of amino acids in a peptide chain

Structural

These bonds are the responsible of secondary structure of proteins

Fibrous

They are known as high quality proteins because they contain all essential amino acids

Peptide bond

They are produced in an organ but act in other place of the body regulating certain

Hydrogen bond, disulfide bond

functions
(

They fight against strange bodies in the organism. An example is gamma globulin

Globular

Change in the tertiary structure of proteins caused by the action of heat or acids

Primary structure

Water soluble, spherical proteins

Hormones

The primary structure of proteins is formed thanks to this bond

Antibodies

Because fibrous proteins form the tissues, is is said that they are

Animal proteins: milk, meat and egg

. . . . . . . . . . . proteins
(

They transmit nervous pulses between cells

Essential amino acids

Non soluble proteins, long shaped

Denaturation

1.

These proteins catalyze reactions in living beings. Examples are proteases and
amylases

2.

Two examples of proteins having alpha helix secondary structure

3.

This proteins changes its secondary structure form alpha to beta according the
amount of humidity

___________________________

4.

Protein with quaternary structure formed by 4 units

___________________________

5.

Protein having secondary structure type beta or zigzag

___________________________

6.

Protein that acts as an hormone and regulates the amount of glucose in blood

7.

Protein that carries oxygen in the human body

8.

It is found in skin, teeth and tendons
