FIBROUS PROTEINS 1.

It is a protein that is INSOLUBLE to water and is used for structural

purposes.

AMINO ACID 2. These are the building blocks of proteins and contain carboxylic acid and amino
groups.

NON POLAR, POLAR, ACIDIC, BASIC AMINO ACID 3-6. What are the 4 classifications of Amino
acids.

SICKLE CELL ANEMIA 7. It is a disease where a single amino acid of both B subunits is changed
from glutamic to valine.

DENATURATION 8. It is a process of destroying a protein by chemical and physical means.

PENICILLIN 9. This medicine inhibits the enzyme that forms cell walls of bacteria, destroying the
bacterium.

PROTEIN 10. A biological macromolecule containing at least 40 amino acids joined by peptide
bonds.

N- TERMINAL AMINO ACID 11.The amino acid at the end of the chain having the free –NH3 +
(always written at the right.)

LEU-ENKEPHALIN 12.It contains a C-terminal leucine.

VASOPRESSIN 13. It is an antidiuretic (ADH) targets the kidneys and helps to limit urine production
to keep body fluids up during dehydration.

MYOGLOBIN 14. It stores oxygen in muscles and it has 153 amino acids in single polypeptide chain.
(mostly a-helix)

CONJUGATED PROTEINS 15. They are composed of a protein unit and a nonprotein molecule.

from it’s zymogen.

TRUE 30. Enzymes are very sensitive to temperature.
