Proteins

Mr. Anderson introduces proteins, their importance, and the Proteome Project. He explains amino acids, protein synthesis, and the role of diet in obtaining amino acids. The video covers protein structure, including primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary levels, and how proteins fold into 3D shapes. The Foldit program is introduced, highlighting its use in scientific research and potential for significant discoveries in protein folding.

How do hydrophilic and hydrophobic amino acids interact in a protein?

What happens to proteins when they are denatured?

What role does the program Foldit play in protein research?
