Bioc 201 Midterm 1 Review Cheat Sheet (DRAFT) by

halp

This is a draft cheat sheet. It is a work in progress and is not finished yet.

Proteins

Protein folding
not very efficient = about 30% of all newly synthe­sized polype­ptides are misfolded and tagged
ubiquitin liagase
ubiquitin tags misfolded proteins for the proteasome to breakdown
Primary structure
linear polype­ptide chain -- amino acids linked together
initial folding of linear polype­ptide is driven by hydrogen bond formation of polype­ptide backbone to form alpha-­helices and beta-s­heets - to form the secondary structure
tertiary driven hydrop­hobic collapse

Enzymes

Enzymes
often change shape when they bind their substr­ate(s).
NOT always protien
allosteric site
CAN be the same as an active site
ATP can be a substrate at active site or bind allost­ericly as inhibitor
