Chapter 21. Protein and the Amino Acids These are biopolymers that are constructed from a limited set of amino acids. They are the most plentiful organic substances in the cell. About half of the dry mass of a cell is composed of proteins. They serve a wide range of functions.
Protein function Enzymes biological catalysts. Immuno- antibodies of immune system. globulins Transport move materials around -hemoglobin for O2. Regulatory hormones, control of metabolism. Structural coverings and support - skin, tendons, hair, bone. Movementmuscle, cilia, flagella.
Amino acids All proteins are composed of amino acids. Twenty common amino acids. All are -amino acids. Except for proline, primary amino- group is attached to the carbon - the carbon just after the acid group. General Structure
Amino acids Because both acid and base groups are present, an amino acid can form a +/- ion. H H | | R-C-COOH R-C-COO- | | NH2 NH3+ The position of the equilibrium is based on pH and the type of amino acid. Called azwitterion.

Primary protein structure Proteins are polymers made up of amino acids. Peptide bond - how the amino acids are linked together to make a protein. H | H2NCCOOH | R H | H2NCCOOH | R’ H O | || H2N - C - C - | R H | N - C - COOH | | H R’ + + H2O
Four levels of protein structure Primary structure The sequence of amino acids in a protein. Secondary structure Way that chains of amino acids are coiled or folded - (-helix, -sheet, random coil). Tertiary structure Way -helix, -sheet, random coils fold and coil. Quaternary structure Way that two or more peptide chains pack together.

Secondary structure Long chains of amino acids commonly fold or curl into a regular repeating structure. Structure is a result of hydrogen bonding between amino acids within the protein. Common secondary structures are: - helix - pleated sheet Secondary structure adds new properties to a protein like strength, flexibility, ...
-helix Every amide hydrogen and carbonyl oxygen is involved in a hydrogen bond.
-helix One common type of secondary structure. Properties of an -helix include strength and low solubility in water. Originally proposed by Pauling and Corey in 1951.
The coiled-coil structures The coiled-coil structure of the fibrous protein beta kerotin.
Collagen Family of related proteins. About one third of all protein in humans. Structural protein Provides strength to bones, tendon, skin, blood vessels. Forms triple helix -tropocollagen.

Held together by hydrogen bonding between adjacent sheets of protein. The hydrogen bonding between the carbonyl oxygen atom of one peptide linkage and the amide hydrogen atom of another peptide linkage.
-Pleated sheets Silk fibroin - main protein of silk is an example of a pleated sheet structure. Composed primarily of glycine and alanine. Stack like corrugated cardboard for extra strength.
Tertiary structure of proteins Fibrous proteins • insoluble in water • form used by connective tissues • silk, collagen, -keratins Globular proteins • soluble in water • form used by cell proteins • 3-D structure - tertiary
Tertiary structure of proteins Results from interaction of side chains. The protein folds into a tertiary structure. Possible side chain interactions: Similar solubilities Ionic attractions Electrostatic attraction between + and -sidechains Covalent bonding
-O \ H -O \ H Tertiary Structure of Proteins Sulfide crosslink Hydrophobic interaction - S - S - -COO- H3N+- Hydrogen bonding Salt bridge
Quaternary structure of proteins Many proteins are not single peptide strands. They are combinations of several proteins • aggregate of smaller globular proteins. Conjugated protein- incorporate another type of group that performs a specific function. prosthetic group
Quaternary structure of proteins Aggregate structure This example shows four different proteins and two prosthetic groups.
Hemoglobin and Myoglobin Hemoglobin Oxygen transport protein of red blood cells. Myoglobin Oxygen storage protein of skeletal muscles. As with the cytochrome example, both proteins use heme groups. It acts as the binding site for molecular oxygen.

Myoglobin Heme
Hemoglobin 2 chains 4 heme 2 chains
Example - cytochrome C 550 Heme structure Contains Fe2+ Used in metabolism. Aggregate of proteins and other structures.
Sickle cell anemia Defective gene results in production of mutant hemoglobin. Still transports oxygen but results in deformed blood cells - elongated, sickle shaped. Difficult to pass through capillaries. Causes organ damage, reduced circulation. Affects 0.4 % of African-American.
