Lecture 5 Peptides : Primary sequence and experimental techniques
Peptide Bond Formation Activated Intermediates
Levels of Protein Structure Primary structure: Determination of sequence
Protein Homology BLOSUM60 Matrix
Disulfide bonds are part of the primarystructure Disulfide Bonds
How to synthesize a peptide Solid phase synthesis: Merrifield synthesis 1 polypeptide of a determined length
Peptide Bond Formation In Vitro 1. Attachment to of C-terminal amino acid (protected on amino group) to resin 2. Removal of protecting group 3. Activation of next amino acid 4. Peptide bond formation 5. Removal of polypeptide from resin 6. Purification of polypeptide
Step 1: Attachment to Resin t-Boc Amino acid t-Boc
How to determine 1º sequence 1.Determine amino acid composition 2. Determine identity of N-terminal amino acid(s) 3. For large proteins, reduce to conveniently sized peptides -Proteases -Chemical reagents 3a. Cleave disulfide bonds
Overview of Protein Sequencing 3b. Subject each peptide to stepwise removal and identification of amino acids from one end -Edman chemistry 4. Determine order of peptides in original protein and location of disulfide bonds
Amino acid composition Hydrolyze protein with 6M HCl Separate amino acids via column chromatography Quantify using ninhydrin reaction
Reactions • Used for detection and quantitation Ninhydrin reaction with amino acids
Reactions Fluorescamine Reaction Highly Fluorescent
