Proteins are made up of amino acids that join together through peptide bonds to form various structures important for life. There are 20 different amino acids that can vary and fold into primary, secondary, tertiary, and sometimes quarternary structures to create fully-formed proteins. Enzymes are a type of protein that act as organic catalysts to change the rates of reactions by binding to a specific substrate through lock and key interactions at their active sites.

- 4. 20 Different Amino Acids Variations depending on R-Group or side chain
- 5. Peptide Bonds Formed by dehydration synthesis
- 6. Protein Folding Primary Structure – Amino Acid Sequence
- 7. Protein Folding Secondary Structure – amino acids fold into sheets and helix shapes
- 8. Protein Folding Tertiary Shape – Protein compacts and twists on itself
- 9. Protein Folding Quarternary Structure – Several proteins combine together Final useful protein
- 11. Enzymes Organic catalysts that change the rate of reactions Act upon substrate Specific to the reaction “ Climate” of maximum effiency Active site is a portion of the whole enzyme
- 12. Denatured Protein structure can be changed by Heat pH Wont work anymore
- 13. Lock and Key model Enzymes either join molecules together or break them apart Specific to reaction
