Protein composition (CHNOS)

Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Sulfur

Amino Acid (one, hundreds)

One amino acid is a monomer, proteins are made of hundreds of amino acid units

Di-,t ri-, tetrapeptide 

Di = 2 amino acids

Tri = 3 amino acids

Tetra = 4 amino acids 

 

Oligopeptide 

Peptide chain with up to 25 amino acid units

Polypeptide

Chain with more than 25 amino acid units

Protein definition

Native structure of a folded polypeptide

Denaturation definition

Process where protein looses the quaternary, tertiary and secondary structure

Zwitterion definition

amino acids in solution become dipolar ions -> NH3+ & COO- (both negatively and positively charged
