Download Protein Chemistry Ben and Cody

By Ben Harmon and Cody Lewis
 Proteins are compounds that have nitrogen, carbon
and hydrogen
 20% of the human body contains 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
 They create links with amino acids residue inside the
proteins
 They are the building blocks of the biological process
 Proteins are created by amino acids bonded together
by dehydration synthesis
 There are about 20 different amino acid structures
 Some are polar
 Some are Nonpolar
 Proteins form muscles, skin, calluses, cartilage, tissues
and organs
 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
 Proteins develop finger nails, hair, and fibrous proteins
 Allows animals to move
 Controls chemical reactions in living things
