What is the basic structure of an amino acid? What do they look like? - Answer amino group (NI12 or NH3), carboxyl group (COO or COOH), alpha carbon (C), and variable group

How do you identify the 3 different types of side chains: non-polar/hydrophobic, polar, and charged? - Answer Non-polar/hydrophobic-end with CH or "can't have" water. Polar-end with OH, SH, or NH. Charged end with a charge

what kinds of bonds do each of the 3 different types of side chains make? - Answer ionic, hydrophobic/non-polar, charged

What are the 4 levels of protein structure? - Answer Primary linear structure, Secondary - Folded into helix or pleated sheet caused by hydrogen bonding, tertiary - 3D structure caused by side chain interactions, quaternary 1+ amino acid chains combine multiple subunits MUST have 1+ subunit

What enviormental change breaks each type of bond? Answer hydrophobic temperature change, ionic salt or decreased pH, hydrogen temperature, change in pH, disulfide reducing agents

what type of amino acid side chain leads to protein aggregration? - Answer hydrophobic bonds

how do environmental changes affect protein folding? - Answer Extreme temp can cause hydrogen bonds to break apart = malformation of protein folding
