H2O Proteins • Structure: • Elements: C, H, O, N • monomer =amino acids • 20 different • polymer =polypeptide • one or more polypeptide chains folded & bonded together • large & complex • complex 3-D shape hemoglobin growthhormones Rubisco
H O | —C— | H || C—OH —N— H Amino acids • Structure • central carbon • amino group • carboxyl group (acid) • R group (side chain) • variable • different for each aa • Results in unique chemical properties • like 20 different letters of an alphabet • can make many words (proteins) R
Effect of different R groups: Nonpolar amino acids • nonpolar & hydrophobic
Effect of different R groups: Polar amino acids • polar or charged & hydrophilic
H+ donors Ionizing in cellular waters
Sulfur containing amino acids • Formdisulfide bridges • covalent cross links betweens sulfhydryls • stabilizes 3-D structure H-S – S-H You wonderedwhy permssmell like rotten eggs?
H2O peptidebond Building proteins • Peptide bonds • covalent bond between NH2 (amine) of one aa& COOH (carboxyl) of another • C–N bond dehydration synthesis
1. Primary Structure – aa sequence determined by gene (DNA) 4 Classes of Protein Structure Phenylalanine • **slight change in sequence can affect protein’s structure & its function just one aa change can make all the difference!**
2. Secondary Structure – folding due to interactions between adjacent (local) aa’sa. Alpha (α) Helix b. Pleated Sheet
3. Tertiary Structure • Overall primary and secondary structure • Hydrophobic interactions • H-bonds • Disulfide bridges • Ionic bonds between opposite charges
4. Quarternary Structure – more than one polypeptide bonded together **Increased complexity = increased stability!**
Form determines function!!! Protein structure (review) R groups hydrophobic interactions disulfide bridges (H & ionic bonds) 3° multiple polypeptides hydrophobic interactions 1° amino acid sequence peptide bonds 4° 2° determinedby DNA R groups H bonds
Conjugated Proteins • Protein backbone with nonprotein group attached • Chromoprotein – pigment molecule attachedEx: Hemoglobin • “Glyco” & “Lipo”Proteins – in cell membrane; carb or lipid attached – used in cell identity • Nucleoproteins – proteins wrapped in DNAEx: histones (in chromosomes)
The Many Functions of Proteins • Enzymatic • Structural • Transport • Receptor • Signalling • Defense • Movement (contractile) • Storage
