Protein Structure • Primary (1°): amino acid sequence • Secondary (2°) • Alpha Helix • Beta Sheet • Tertiary (3°) • Quaternary (4°)
Primary and Secondary Structure Superoxide Dismutase - 1XSO Myoglobin - 2V1K
Recap • Structures of 20 amino acids • pKa and pI • 1°: Polypeptide Sequence • 2°: Secondary Structures • Alpha Helices • Beta Sheets
Recap continued • Protein Purification Methods • Gel Filtration • Ion Exchange • Affinity • How to assess purification? • Purity • Yield
SDS-PAGE • Electrophoresis: a method for separating molecules based on size and charge when exposed to an electric field. Name “SDS-PAGE”: SDS = sodium dodecyl sulfate PAGE = polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis
Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate SDS confers negative charge on proteins and denatures proteins Amphiphilic Anionic Detergent in a wide variety of products Hydrophilic Hydrophobic Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate(Lauryl Sulfate) Proteins are primarily denatured by boiling them prior to electrophoresis! CH3(CH2)11OSO3
SDS-PAGE Buffers Buffers maintain pH control Allow gel to fully polymerize Stacking Gel 0.5M Tris-HClpH 6.8 Resolving Gel 1.5M Tris-HClpH 8.8

Purity • Purity is a measure of how undefiled a protein sample is. Pure protein Lots of impurities
Amount of protein recovered % Yield = Amount of protein initially Yield Example: 1 2 3 After 2 steps of purification % Yield = (208 / 358.2) x 100 = 58.1%
Protein Sequencing Study how each works! • Separate subunits • Dansyl Chloride Reaction • Proteolytic Digestion • Cyanogen Bromide Cleavage • Edman Degradation Read on yourown!
How to separate subunits? Dithiothreitol, DTT 2-Mercaptoethanol
Proteolytic Digestion Know this!
Proteolytic Digestion How many fragments would result from digestion with trypsin?
Proteolytic Digestion Trypsin cleaves after Lys (K) and Arg (R): 16 fragments!
Protein Structure Classifications • 1°: amino acid sequence • 2°: local spatial arrangement of a polypeptide backbone without regard for side chains • 3°: 3D structure of a protein including its side chains • 4°: spatial arrangements of subunits
Beta Tertiary Folds Some proteins only have alpha helices (plus turns and random coils). Others only have beta sheets (plus turns and random coils). Alpha
Alpha/Beta Tertiary Folds Some proteins have a combination of alpha helices and beta sheets(plus turns and random coils).
Biomolecular Stability Nucleic acids and proteins are stabilized by the same types of intermolecular forces. Hydrophobic Effect: the tendency of water to minimize its contact with hydrophobic groups in molecules. How does the hydrophobic effect impact proteins and nucleic acids?
Entropy Entropy measures the spontaneous dispersal of energy: how much energy is spread out in a process -or- how widely spread out it becomes — at a specific temperature http://www.entropysite.com
Entropy & the Hydrophobic Effect How is entropy increased by the hydrophobic effect? http://www.cryst.bbk.ac.uk/PPS2/projects/day/TDayDiss/Major.html
How do bond energies compare? Type of Bond Bond Strength (kJ/mol) Covalent 348 - 460 Ionic Interaction 86 Hydrogen Bond 20 Dipole-dipole 9.3 London Dispersion 0.3 Table 2-1 Relatively speaking, H-bonds are weak,but they are not nearly as weak as one might expect!
Why Do Base Pairs Stack? ENTROPY Hydrophobic effect induces release of water “binding” to DNA bp’s such that the hydrophobic ring systems can stack on top of each other to minimize contact with water. Consider the magnitude of stacking energy… Etc.
