Amino Acid Starter Kit
Pre-Lab Questions
- Consider the protein folding article you read in preparation for this activity. What rules govern the folding process depicted in this video?
- What determines the sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain?
Analysis
- What will happen to the hydrophobic amino acids when a protein folds? Hydrophilic amino acids? Amino acids with a positive charge? Negative charge? What type of bond will form between two cysteines?

- Is the 3-D shape of the protein dependent upon the location of the amino acids in the polypeptide chain?
