Amino Acid and Proteins ~

Assalamualaikum and Good morning Dr Wan.

Chapter 4 is conducted by Dr Amalia. She’s so cute! Hahahaha

So, the next chapter is on Amino Acids and Proteins.

Basically, we’ve learnt all of this in last semester in Biomolecules.

We’ve learnt about the basic structure of amino acid.

We also learnt that the classification of amino acid is based on the R-group

Amino acids make a peptide bond from N-terminus to C-terminus and become a protein.

In protein, there are primary structure, secondary structure, tertiary structure, and quaternary structure.

There two things that we are not learn yet in Biomolecules, that are loop and turn. 

Turns is shorter than loops means they only contain not less than 5 amino acids per turns. 

While loops is longer that is up to five amino acid that reverse a direction of a polypeptide chain.

At the end of the class, Dr Amalia gave us some quiz on the chapter that we’ve learnt that day.

I think, that’s all for this chapter, Thankyou! J

Till we meet again! XOXO
