Proteins - Paradigms of Complex Systems Biomolecules Glass-forming liquids Synthetic polymers Spin glasses Essential Properties Distributed physical parameters Wide range of time scales Nonlinearity Non-Arrhenius temperature dependence Disorder: Nonlinearity: time dependence depends on magnitude and sign of perturbation Rugged energy landscape Frustration: ? Spin glass

Proteins Building blocks: 20 different amino acids Primary structure: backbone Building blocks: Primary structure: Secondary structure: Tertiary structure: 20 different amino acids sidechain peptide (covalent) bonds b sheet a helix hydrogen bonds Sequence determines 3D fold 3D interactions: - hydrophobic - van der Waals - H bonds / ionic / S-S Hb

Protein Folding Huge number of possible chain conformations (10150 for a protein with 150 amino acids). Folding decreases number of available conformations substantially. The native fold is not unique, but contains a large number of conformational substates.

Energy Landscape of Folded Proteins Sequence Folding 3D Structure Conformational substates: same overall structure, details are different.
