Proteins & The Endomembrane System

 * Explain the differences between primary, secondary, tertiary, & quaternary structures of proteins
 * Identify the major structures of an amino acid
 * Classify amino acids based on their R groups
 * Explain how amino acids are joined together to create primary structures
 * Explain how mutations cause changes in final protein structures
 * Describe how pre- and post-translational changes cause changes to the final protein
 * Explain how the components of the endomembrane system shuttle proteins to their final goals.
 * Explain how the following endomembrane-organelles function: ribosomes, cytoskeleton, golgi bodies, vesicles, and the plasma membrane
 * Use the Protein Database to learn about specific proteins
 * Model proteins using Jmol ||
