  3. -Keratin

  4. Keratin: an Intermediate Filament Protein What’s in Hair and Wool?

  5. Collagen Intramolecular Crosslinks b a’ Gly-X-Y a Left hand -helix X=Pro Y=HO-Pro Intermolecular Crosslinks Quarter Stagger

  6. ELASTIN Property of Resilience 4-way Stretch Aorta Lung Ligamentum Nuchae

  7. Alpha helix Beta structure Beta-alpha-beta Beta barrel Tertiary Structure Overall Shape (applies mainly to globular proteins) Structural Motifs

  8. a Helix Beta Sheet Turns or loops Packs Framework Globular Protein Molecules 3-Dominant Structural Features Typical Protein Connects

  9. Rules Governing Protein Folding Can we predict how a protein will fold on the basis of amino acid sequence data alone? 1. Globular Proteins have a defined outside and inside Hydrophobic buried inside Hydrophilic outside

  10. X Y Z Folding and Biological Activity Enzyme Active Site Z X Y Random Coil Folded Denatured Biologically Active

  11. TURNS (on Surfaces) Reverse direction abruptly Beta Bends or Turns (4 residues to execute sharp turn) H-bonding between carbonyl residue1 and amide N on residue 3. Glycine not in loop (Type I turn) Glycine in loop (Type II turn) Gamma (very tight turn) Proline in loop, bonding between 1 and 2 Tight Turn

  12. Reverse Turn in Polypeptides Glycine H-bond between 1 and 4 Twice more common than type 2

  13. Chou-Fasman Rule for Predicting Secondary Structure Propensity Helix Beta Sheet Beta Turn

  14. Protein Folding Mystery To fold a protein is negative entropy with respect to the protein. You go from a disordered to an ordered state. Folding is away from a natural tendency to exist in a random state? Where is the energy driving protein folding? ANSWER IN TEXTBOOK

  15. Folded Unfolded N N C C ANSWER ORGANIZED WATER DSTotal = DSsys - DSsurround

  16. QUATERNARY STRUCTURE Multisubunit Proteins SUBUNIT STRUCTURE HOMODIMER HETERODIMER
