Proteins: history of view 1828: By syntesizing urea, Friedrich Woehler voided the vis vitalis theory, opening roads to modern organic chemistry. 1850’s: First amino acids isolated from natural products 1903-1906: By hydrolysis of natural proteins, Emil Fischer proves that they are copolymers of amino acids (strange, but none of his so fundamental papers earned more than ~60 citations!). 1930’s and 1940’s: proteins are viewed as spheroidal particles which form colloidal solution; their shape is described in terms of the long-to-short axis ratio. 1930’s: it is observed that denaturated proteins do not crystallize and change their physicochemical and spectral properties.

Proteins: history of view (continued) 1940’s: evidence from X-ray accumulates suggesting that fibrous proteins such as silk and keratin might have regular structure. 1951: Pauling, Corey, and Branson publish the theoretical model of protein helical structures. 1960: Laskowski and Scheraga discover anomalous pKa values in ribonuclease, which suggest that the acidbase groups are shielded from the solvent to different extent. 1963: First low-resolution X-ray structure of a protein (horse hemoglobin) published by the Perutz group. Today: 68840 structures of proteins, nucleic acids, and sugars in the Protein Data Bank.

Pauling’s model of helical structures

Levels of protein structure organization

The primary structure (Emil Fischer, 1904) C-terminus N-terminus H3N+-Gly-Ile-Val-Cys-Glu-Gln-..........-Thr-Leu-His-Lys-Asn-COO- a-amino acids are protein building blocks

a-amino acids: chemical structure

Classification of amino-acids by origin Natural Synthetic Proteinic (L only) Non-Proteinic (D and L) Primary (coded) Secondary (post-translational modification) Tertiary (e.g., cystine) Endogenous Exogenous

Amino-acid names and codes Synthesized in humans Supplied with food Name Code Alanine Ala A Histidine His H Arginine Arg R Isoleucine Ile I Asparagine Asn N Leucine Leu L Aspartic acid Asp D Lysine Lys K Cysteine Cys C Methionine Met M Glutamine Gln Q Phenylalanine Phe F Glutamic acid Glu E Threonine Thr T Glycine Gly G Tryptophan Trp W Proline Pro P Valine Val V Serine Ser S Tyrosine Tyr Y

Atom symbols and numbering in amino acids

Chirality Enantiomers Phenomenological manifestation of chiraliy: optical dichroism (rotation of the plane of polarized light).

Determining chirality Highest oxidation state Chain direction

The CORN rule

Absolute configuration: R and S chirality Rotate from „heaviest” to „lightest” substituent R (D) amino acids S (L) amino acids

Representation of geometry of molecular systems Cartesian coordinates describe absolute geometry of a system, versatile with MD/minimizing energy, need a molecular graphics program to visualize. Internal coordinates describe local geometry of an atom wrt a selected reference frame, with some experience, local geometry can be imagined without a molecular graphics software, might cause problems when doing MD/minimizing energy (curvilinear space).

For regular polymers (when there are „blocks” inside such as in the right picture, pi is a full translation vector and Ti-2Ri-1 is a full transformation matrix).

Hybrid of two canonical structures Peptide bond geometry Hybrid of two canonical structures 60% 40%

Electronic structure of peptide bond

Peptide bond: planarity The partially double character of the peptide bond results in planarity of peptide groups their relatively large dipole moment

Main chain conformation: the f, y, and w angles The cis (w=0o) and trans (w=180o) configurations of the peptide group

Peptide group: cis-trans isomerization Skan z wykresem energii

Because of peptide group planarity, main chain conformation is effectively defined by the f and y angles.

Side chain conformations: the c angles

The dihedral angles with which to describe the geometry of disulfide bridges

Some  and  pairs are not allowed due to steric overlap (e.g, ==0o)
