PROTEIN PHYSICS LECTURES 11-12 - Fibrous proteins and their functions - Membrane proteins and their functions
Globular proteins Membrane proteins Fibrous proteins H-bonds (NH:::OC) & hydrophobic forces
Fibrous proteins: regular building blocks b a collagen ____________________________________ Here, we do not consider fibrous proteins made from globules (actin, etc.)
Fibrous proteins: regular building blocks b a collagen
b 4.8A Silk fibroin ~50
______ b
_____ b
a-helical coiled- coil
PRO (f = -70o) PolyPRO II PolyPRO II Before PRO
Collagen: assisted folding
Natively non-structured fibrous proteins: Elastin: Matrix protein. Short repeats. Poor secondary structure. Chains are linked by chemically modified Lys residues. Like in rubber.
Membrane proteins: transmitters heads (polar) tails tails heads (polar) H-bonds & hydrophobics ____
a Bacteriorodopsin with retinal Transport of protons H+ H+ H+
b Porin Transport of polar molecules
+ Pore in membrane: SELECTIVITY Free energy of a charge in the non-charged non-polar pore: ~ q2 / [(MEMBRWATER)1/2rPORE] ~ ~ 20 kcal/mol / rPORE(Å)
Photo- synthetic center
Pigments in photo- synthetic center: Electron transfer chlorophyll Light
Tunneling P(X) ~ 10-X(Å) T-independent Frequency of vibrations (attacks): f ~ 1015/sec Successful attacks: fSUCCS.(x)~ P(x)•f, e.g.: fSUCCS.(5Å)~ 10-5+15 ~ ~ 1010/sec Atom 1Å Attenuation of electron density:
