A detailed, image rich lesson on protein structure, with some slides designed to be viewed in 3D with red and cyan glasses. It builds up from amino acids and peptide bonds to primary, secondary and tertiary structure, using real proteins such as insulin, collagen, myoglobin and lysozyme as examples.
What this presentation covers
- amino acids and the 20 naturally occurring types
- peptide bonds, condensation and hydrolysis
- primary structure (pig insulin)
- secondary structure: the alpha helix and beta pleated sheet
- collagen as a fibrous protein
- tertiary structure, myoglobin and the haem group
- globular proteins and enzymes such as lysozyme and chymotrypsin
