The sequence of the amino acids in a protein depends on (is determined by) the ... | arrow_right_alt | a molecule made of amino acids that has folded into a specific 3-D shape whose JOB depends on that shape! |
The part of the amino acid that determines how that amino acid interacts with other amino acids and/or water | arrow_right_alt | building block or monomer of proteins |
amino acid | arrow_right_alt | the sequence of bases in the DNA (in a gene) |

Click on the section that show how the changes in the type of keratin could explain the differences between straight hair and curly hair.
Click on the section that show how a reduction in an specific amino acid could help explain how straight hair could become curly hair
Click on the section that shows how an increase in an amino acid could help explain how straight hair could become curly hair.

Set up the following...
Then hit the play button - see red arrow - once the protein folds, pause the animation and answer the questions below...
Where did the TRP amino acid(s) end up in the final folded protein? . Why did the TRP amino acid(s) end up in this part of the protein? . Where did the
Where did amino acids like GLU or GLN end up? Why?
Describe the process (shown below) of how the unfolded chain of amino acids goes through its folding process to become the final folded protein seen to the right of the arrow.
Make sure to include and describe the 4 rules of protein folding.
Summarize WHY a PROTEIN'S structure (how it is made) DETERMINES how that PROTEIN functions (what it does)
Explain how the shape of a protein could be changed? What are the possible effects (3) on protein function if the shape of a protein is changed?
