Chapter 2, Problem 34P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The conformation of Pro-X peptide bonds needs to be compared with that of X-Pro peptide bonds.

Concept introduction:

Amino acids are compounds containing amino as well as acidic group. The general molecular structure of an amino acid is as follows:

NH2-CHR-COOH

Here, R is different group for different amino acids. If there is more than one amino group present in an amino acid, they are considered as basic amino acids and if there is more than one carboxylic group then they are considered as acidic amino acids.

Two or more amino acids combine to form di- or polypeptide chains. Here, peptide bond is the amide bond formed between the two amino acids.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
the resonance stabilization of the amide linkage has profound effects on protein structure. Which of the following are the direct effect(s) of this on protein structure? Select all that apply All six atoms around the bond (including the Co) lie on the same plane There is no free rotation about the peptide bond. The bond between the carbon and the nitrogen in the peptide bond keeps "flickering" between being a single bond and a double bond. The peptide bond is polar. The nitrogen in the peptide bond cannot accept a hydrogen bond.
The different types of interactions that stabilize the protein tertiary structure are illustrated in the diagram below. Which type of interaction moves some part of the polypeptide chain toward the inside of the folded protein? OH Hydrophilic OH CH₂ interaction with water Hydrogen bond -NH₂3-0- C Salt bridge -CH₂-OH C=0 H-N H 0-CH,- I H Hydrogen bond Salt bridge O Disulfide bond 222 -SIS Hydrophobic interaction 200 O Hydrogen bond O Hydrophilic interaction Disulfide bonds B-Pleated sheet O Hydrophobic interaction CH₂ CH₂ a Helix CH3 CH3 Hydrogen bonds
What would the net charge be of a polypeptide with the sequence M-D-R-N-Q-K-R-W at pH 8? hint ionizable groups include N-terminus (pKa = 9.0), D (pKa = 3.9), R (pKa = 12.5), K (pКa %3D 10.5) O +2 O-1 O +1
