  1. CHE 242Unit VIIIThe Structure, Properties, Reactions and Mechanisms of Carboxylic Acids and Their DerivativesCHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR Terrence P. Sherlock Burlington County College 2004

  2. Structure of Proteins => Chapter 24

  3. Stereochemistry of-Amino Acids => Chapter 24

  4. Arginine (Arg) Threonine (Thr) Lysine (Lys) Valine (Val) Phenylalanine (Phe) Tryptophan (Trp) Methionine (Met) Histidine (His) Leucine (Leu) Isoleucine (Ile) => Essential Amino Acids Chapter 24

  5. Complete Proteins • Provide all the essential amino acids. • Examples: those in meat, fish, milk, eggs. • Plant proteins are generally incomplete. • Vegetarians should eat many different kinds of plants, or supplement diet with milk or eggs. => Chapter 24

  6. Rare Amino Acids • 4-Hydroxyproline, 5-hydroxylysine found in collagen. • D-Glutamic acid in cell walls of bacteria • D-Serine in earthworms • -Aminobutyric acid, a neurotransmitter • -Alanine, constituent of the vitamin pantothenic acid. => Chapter 24

  7. Zwitterion • Amino acid exists as a dipolar ion. • -COOH loses H+, -NH2 gains H+. • Actualstructure depends on pH. => Chapter 24

  8. pKb = 12 pKa = 10 => Properties of Amino Acids • High melting points, over 200C • More soluble in water than in ether. • Larger dipole moments than simple acids or simple amines. • Less acidic than most carboxylic acids, less basic than most amines. Chapter 24

  9. Structure and pH => Chapter 24

  10. Isoelectric Point • pH at which amino acids exist as the zwitterion (neutral). • Depends on structure of the side chain. • Acidic amino acids, isoelectric pH ~3. • Basic amino acids, isoelectric pH ~9. • Neutral amino acids, isoelectric pH is slightly acidic, 5-6. => Chapter 24

  11. Electrophoresis => Chapter 24

  12. Reaction with Ninhydrin • Used to visualize spots or bands of amino acids separated by chromatography or electrophoresis. • Deep purple color formed with traces of any amino acid. => Chapter 24

  13. => Structure of Peptide • The peptide bond is an amide bond. • Amides are very stable and neutral. Chapter 24

  14. Peptide Bond Formation • The amino group of one molecule condenses with the acid group of another. • Polypeptides usually have molecular weight less than 5000. • Protein molecular weight 6000-40,000,000. => Chapter 24

  15. Classification of Proteins • Simple: hydrolyze to amino acids only. • Conjugated: bonded to a nonprotein group, such as sugar, nucleic acid, or lipid. • Fibrous: long, stringy filaments, insoluble in water, function as structure. • Globular: folded into spherical shape, function as enzymes, hormones, or transport proteins. => Chapter 24

  16. Levels of Protein Structure • Primary: the sequence of the amino acids in the chain and the disulfide links. • Secondary: structure formed by hydrogen bonding. Examples are -helix and pleated sheet. • Tertiary: complete 3-D conformation. • Quaternary: association of two or more peptide chains to form protein. => Chapter 24

  17. => Alpha Helix Each carbonyl oxygen can hydrogen bond with an N-H hydrogen on the next turn of the coil. Chapter 24

  18. => Pleated Sheet Each carbonyl oxygen hydrogen bonds with an N-H hydrogen on an adjacent peptide chain. Chapter 24

  19. Summary of Structure => Chapter 24

  20. Denaturation • Disruption of the normal structure of a protein, such that it loses biological activity. • Usually caused by heat or changes in pH. • Usually irreversible. A cooked egg cannot be “uncooked.” => Chapter 24
