Protein Chemistry

Proteins are compounds that have nitrogen, carbon and hydrogen

20% of the human body contains proteins

Proteins

A peptide is a compound that contains two or more amino acids

Peptides have a wide range of uses in the medical and bio technological fields

Peptides

They create links with amino acids residue inside the proteins

Peptide Bonds

They are the building blocks of the biological process

Proteins are created by amino acids bonded together by dehydration synthesis

Amino acids

There are about 20 different amino acid structures

Some are polar Some are Nonpolar

Amino Acids etc…

Proteins form muscles, skin, calluses, cartilage, tissues and organs

What proteins form

The first level structure is the linear sequence of amino acids that makes the peptide chain

In the secondary structure hydrogen bonds w/ different amino acids making a three-dimensional geometry like an alpha helix

The tertiary structure creates the shape of the protein

Alpha Helix is a spiral or coiled molecule

The 3 dimensional geometry of a Protein

Proteins develop finger nails, hair, and fibrous proteins

Allows animals to moveControls chemical reactions in living things

Why proteins are important?

Insulin:Pancreatic Hormone

Used to treat diabetes

Example of protein chemistry
