Proteins and Nucleic Acids KEY WORDS:Protein Polypeptide Amino Acid Essential Amino Acid Denature 1°, 2°, 3°, 4° Structure Nucleic Acid Nucleotide DNA RNA
Types of Proteins See Table 5.1 Structural Storage Enzymes Transport Hormones Antibodies Receptor Contractile
Proteins 2. R group 3. Carboxyl group 1. Amino group Subunit = amino acid Amino acids have three parts:
The 20 amino acids of proteins: polar and electrically charged
Linking Amino Acids Dehydration synthesis: forms a covalent bond – A Peptide Bond Creates a polypeptide
How are proteins able to do so many things? Polar Non-polar Charged - O 20 different kinds amino acids - different R-groups
Carbohydrates: Glucose Hard to make more than one word Proteins: 20 amino acids Glutamine Isoleucine Asparagine Serine Threonine Lysine Arginine Scrabble Analogy E1 G1 G1 G1 I1 G1 G1 G1 N1 S1 T1 K5 R1
Proteins Fold into Active Shape Protein function depends on shape Four Levels of Structure: Primary 1° Secondary 2° Tertiary 3° Quaternary 4°
Primary (1°) Structure Sequence of amino acids in polypeptide
Secondary (2°) Structure Folds in part of amino acid chain: Hydrogen bonds b- pleated sheet a-helix
Tertiary (3°) Structure 3D Packing of Polypeptides: More hydrogen bonds
Examples of interactions contributing to the tertiary structure of a protein
Quaternary (4°) Structure Interactions between 2+ polypeptides
Denatured Proteins • Proteins can be unfolded = denatured • Can affect the behavior of the protein
What can cause proteins to denature? Chemicals pH Heat
Shape is critical for protein interactions • EXAMPLE: • Hemoglobin • 4 Polypeptides • Binds Iron • Oxygen transport
Protein Folding and Disease Many diseases caused by incorrect protein folding Mad Cow Disease Alzheimers Cystic Fibrosis Parkinson’s Disease Sickle Cell Anemia Arthritis Marfan Syndrome ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease) Cancer Diabetes Insipidus
A single amino acid substitution in a protein causes sickle-cell disease
Diet: Essential Amino Acids • 20 different amino acids • All living things have protein • 8 Essential Amino Acids can not be synthesized by our bodies - must be found in diet • All 8 essential amino acids are present in animal protein and soy beans
QUESTION • Which of the following is contains all 8 • essential amino acids? • Wheat • Soy beans • Brown rice • Corn • None of these
Lipoproteins & Glycoproteins • LIPOPROTEINS-Lipid + Protein • -Used for transport of fats throughout the body • -Example: HDL and LDL Cholesterol • GLYCOPROTEINS • -Carbohydrate + Protein • -Receptors on the surface of cells
QUESTION • The myoglobin protein, which carries oxygen in muscle cells, only has the first three levels of protein structure (it lacks a quaternary level). From this you can conclude that myglobin: • Is made of nucleic acids • Is made of only one polypeptide chain • Lacks hydrogen bonds • Is not helical or pleated • Is a fiber
NUCLEIC ACIDS • Nucleic acids include RNA and DNA • Polymers made up of repeating monomers called nucleotides.
NUCLEOTIDES 3 Main Components: • 5-Carbon Sugar (Pentose): RNA ribose, DNA deoxyribose • Phosphate Group • Nitrogen-containing base
Nucleotides: Important Energy Storage Molecules • Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP): acts like cell’s battery, providing energy for most activities.
RNA and DNA SIMILARITIES: • 5-carbon sugar • Phosphate group DIFFERENCES: • Nucleotides • DNA: Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, Thymine • RNA: Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, Uracil • Sugar • DNA: Deoxyribose • RNA: Ribose
Nucleic Acid Synthesis • Nucleotides joined by dehydration synthesis • Covalent bond forms between PHOSPHATE GROUP and SUGAR
Polypeptide Sequence as Evidence for Evolutionary Relationships
Nucleotides are to ____ as ____ are to proteins. • Nucleic acids; amino acids • Amino acids; polypeptides • Glycosidic linkages; polypeptide linkages • Genes; enzymes • Polymers; polypeptides
