Proteins Chapter 3 A. P. Biology Mr. Knowles Liberty Senior High School
Functions of Proteins • Enzymes- Metabolism • Structural- Collagen and Keratin • Cell Recognition- proteins on cellular surface. • Regulation of Gene Expression- Gene Repressors or Enhancers. • Defense- Antibodies.
Table 5.1 • An overview of protein functions
Two Types of Proteins • Fibrous Proteins- rope-like, structural proteins; form shape of cells and tissues. Ex. Collagen-the most abundant protein of vertebrates. • Globular Proteins- have specific shapes for their functions. Ex. Enzymes and antibodies.

Proteins • Most diverse organic compound. • Composed of amino acids- each with an amino group (NH2) and a carboxylic acid group (COOH). • Different chemical group(s) attached to central C- R group .

Amino Acids • Are the monomers of proteins. • Only 20 naturally occurring amino acids. • The R group gives each of the amino acids its unique property. • All 20 amino acids can be grouped into 5 basic groups.
5 Groups of Amino Acids (Fig. 3.15) • Nonpolar- have R groups that contain CH2 and CH3. • Polar Uncharged- R groups that have O or only H. • Ionizable- have R groups that are acids and bases. • Aromatic- R groups that have organic rings.
5 Groups of Amino Acids (Fig. 3.15) 5. Special-function- amino acids that are only used for very specific functions; methionine begins protein synthesis, proline causes kinks in the protein polymer, cysteine links chains together.

Proteins • Are polymers of amino acids. • Joined by peptide bonds. • Di- Tri- and Polypeptides.
Globular Proteins • Are long amino acids chains folded into complex shapes. • All of the internal amino acids are nonpolar. • Water excludes nonpolar amino acids – hydrophobic interactions.
Globular Proteins Have Four Levels of Structure • Primary- the specific sequence of amino acids in the polypeptide chain. • R groups have no role in the backbone, so any sequence of amino acids is possible. • Therefore, 100 amino acids may be rearranged in 20100 different possible sequences.

Globular Protein Structure 2.Secondary- folding or coiling of the chain into a pattern due to weak H bonds between amino acids. • H bonds form between the main chain of amino acids. • Two Kinds of Secondary Structure
Secondary Structures • Alpha Helix- H bonds between one amino acid and another further down the chain. Pulls the chain into a coil. • Beta Sheet- H bonds occur across two separate chains. If chains are parallel, they may form a sheet-like structure.

Secondary Structures • Some patterns of alpha helices and/or beta sheets are very common in protein structures. • When secondary structures are organized into specific structures within proteins-motifs. Ex. Β-Barrel or α-turn-α motifs
Globular Protein Structure 3. Tertiary Structure- folding and positioning of nonpolar R groups into the interior of the protein (hydrophobic interactions). • Held together by weak van der Waal’s forces. • Precise fitting of R groups within the interior. A change may destabilize a protein’s shape.
Hydrophobic interactions and van der Waalsinteractions CH CH2 CH2 H3C CH3 OH H3C CH3 Polypeptidebackbone Hydrogenbond CH O HO C CH2 CH2 S S CH2 Disulfide bridge O C CH2 -O CH2 NH3+ Ionic bond Tertiary Structure: • Is the overall three-dimensional shape of a polypeptide. • Results from interactions between amino acids and R groups.
Globular Protein Structure • Quaternary Structure- two or more polypepetide chains associate to form a protein. • Each chain is called a subunit. • Subunits are not necessarily the same. • Ex. Hemoglobin = 2 α-chain subunits + 2 β-chain subunits.
Polypeptidechain Collagen Chains Iron Heme Chains Hemoglobin Quaternary Structure: • Is the overall protein structure that results from the aggregation of two or more polypeptide subunits.

Shape of the Protein • Tertiary and Quaternary structures provide shape. • These structures are maintained by H bonds and other weak forces between R groups of amino acids.
Conditions that Affect Protein Shape Can disrupt H bonds by: • High Temperature • pH Changes (Acidic or Basic) • Ion Concentration (Salt) Disrupting the 2°, 3°, 4° structure is called denaturation.
Denaturation Normal protein Denatured protein Renaturation Figure 5.22 Denaturation: Is when a protein unravels and loses its native conformation.
