  2. CHEM1020/General Chemistry_________________________________________Chapter 15. (L15)-Biochemistry • Today’s Outline ..Peptide bond for peptides and proteins peptides peptide bond ..Protein structures primary structure secondary structure tertiary structure quaternary structure four ways to link proteins …Enzymes

  3. Chapter 15. (L15)-Biochemistry • Peptide bond …Two amino acids can join together by the peptide bond: O O O O || || || || H2N-CH-C-OH + HNH-CH-C-OH H2N-CH-C-NH-CH-C-OH | | | | R R’ R R’ + H2O …A peptide bond is an amide linkage as learned before. Amino acids join together by means of condensation through removal of a H2O molecule.

  4. Chapter 15. (L15)-Biochemistry • Peptides …Peptides are small units of amino acids (AA) joined together by amide linkage through condensation. So, peptides are small segments of proteins. dipeptide: Gly-Ala tripeptide: Gly-Ala-Cys polypeptide: peptide with more than 10 AAs …A great number of amino acids (102 or 103 or more) joined together form proteins (MW > 10000). Naming peptides: see book on pp.444-445. Proteins are also called polyamides.

  5. Chapter 15. (L15)-Biochemistry • Sequence of proteins or peptides …The sequence of a protein starts from the amino end called N-terminal to the carboxylic end called C-terminal. …The amino acids sequence in a protein is very important. The 20 or more basic amino acids are just like the 26 letters in English, which can form various words and sentences and paragraphs and pages and pages, and so on and on.

  6. Chapter 15. (L15)-Biochemistry • Structures of proteins …Proteins can have four levels of structures -Primary structure: the amino acid sequence or chain formulized by the peptide bonds or amide linkage. -Secondary structure: Arrangement of the protein polymer chain to form a higher level of structure held by hydrogen bonding between protein chains -pleated sheet structure, held by hydrogen bond between chains and sheets, like in silk, etc. -spiral right-handed called α-helix held by hydrogen bond inside the chain between N-terminals and C-terminals, like in wool, hair, muscle

  7. Chapter 15. (L15)-Biochemistry • Structures of proteins …Proteins can have four levels of structures -Tertiary structure: The folding of the helix in space a 3-D structure, example: globular protein in a spherical shape Example: myoglobin -Quaternary structure: Different peptide units are arranged in an aggregate or assembly Example: hemoglobin (each unit is like a myoglobin)

  8. Chapter 15. (L15)-Biochemistry • Structures of proteins Analogy by means of telephone cable cord (see pp. 447) …Four types of interactions or “forces” or “bonding” to form the tertiary structure: -hydrogen bond between the H from N-H and O from C=O and between the H from –OH and O from C=O intramolecular, intermolecular -ionic bond between “+” and “-” groups, also called salt bridges -disulfide bond between two Sulfur atoms, covalent bond, strong to hold chains together -dispersion force, inner non-polar portion, outer polar portion
