Presentation Transcript

  1. 5.1 Proteins are Linear Polymers of Amino Acids

  2. The Coplanar Nature of the Peptide Bond Six atoms of the peptide group lie in a plane!

  3. “Peptides” • Short polymers of amino acids • Each unit is called a residue • 2 residues - dipeptide • 3 residues -tripeptide • 12-20 residues - oligopeptide • many - polypeptide

  4. The sequence of ribonuclease A

  5. Configuration and conformation are not the same

  6. The tetrameric structure of hemoglobin
