The Peptide Chain, Primary StructureAssembled by the Ribosome During Translation
Peptide Backbone: Phi Psi AnglesLimits to their distribution
Soluble Proteins: E The Globular Protein FoldExterior: HydrophillicInterior: Hydrophobic H D P L I F S V R A Y C M W N T G K Q Packing Cross Section of a Globular Protein How would the organization of a Membrane Protein compare?
Solution NMR Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Distance Constraints Dynamic Snapshot X-ray Crystallography Electron Density Static Snapshot First: How do we determine structure? Our Tools:
Secondary Structure: The a-Helix 3.6 residues per turn
Secondary Structure: The a-Helix Helical Axis
Secondary Structure: The a-HelixHelical Wheel – Hydropathy Plots Helical Axis
Secondary Structure: LoopsLinkers, Variable Structrure, Active Site
Cystine: The Disulfide BondTwo Cysteines Covalently Bond (Oxidation)Provides Added Stabilization to a Fold
