Proteins! By J, J & G
Basic Structure Monomer Amino Acids Organic molecules with both an amino group and a carboxyl group
Amino Acids!
Basic Structure Polymerize Yes… to form polypeptides! Dehydration Synthesis
PROTEIN STRUCTURE!!!!!
HYDROPHILIC OR HYDROPHOBIC? THE SIDE CHAIN OF AMINO ACIDS DECIDES! Parts of the protein will be hydrophobic or hydrophilic The side chains of amino acids determine how the proteins fold- hydrophobic parts of the chain fold inward
Chaperonin Protein molecules that assist in the proper folding of proteins Keep the new polypeptide segregated from the cytoplasm Image retrieved from: onins&lang=1
