Proteins that are used in the human immune system

• immunoglobulins

• hemoglobins

• insulins

• collagens

The type of reaction used to build proteins

• hydrolysis

• dehydrolysis

• condensation

• polymerization

The bond between adjacent amino acids

• peptide

• hydrogen

• ionic

• isometric

A pH outside of the optimal range would cause

• denaturing of the enzyme

• destruction of the enzyme

• an increase in enzymatic rate

• an increase in the frequency of collisions between the enzyme and the substrate

Where the substrate binds to an enzyme

• allosteric site

• active site

• binding site

• immobilization site

The enzyme that catalyses the photosynthesis reaction

• rhodopsin

• Rubisco

• insulin

• immunoglobulin

NGSS.HS-LS1-5

A protein

• is a chain of amino acids

• consists of one or more polypeptides

• is assembled by hydrolysis reactions

• contains peptide bonds between the carboxyl group and the r group

NGSS.HS-LS1-1

Denaturing a protein

• disrupts the 3-dimensional shape of the molecule

• alters the primary structure of the molecule

• prevents the protein from being broken down by the immune system

• causes the amino acid to contract into a smaller space within the cell
