Protein structure 3 rd level of organisation : tertiary structure A protein sequence adopts a particular fold in solution, which corresponds to a free energy minimum Types of non-covalent interactions: salt bridges hydrogen bonds hydrophobic contacts pi-pi stacking… Elodie Laine – 18.12.2013

Sequence-structure-function paradigm Tumour-supressor protein p53’s disordered segments help it interact with hundreds of partners. Dynamics Elodie Laine – 18.12.2013
11
Protein functions pumps drugs and poisons out of cells sensor of light hormones breaks down food in the stomach recognizes foreign objects copies the information held in a DNA strand stores iron ions inside cells Rotary motor powered by electrochemical energy supports organs and tissues forms structural girders Elodie Laine – 18.12.2013
12
The geometric configuration of a protein’s native state determines its macroscopic properties, behaviour and function. Protein folding prediction problem The number of possible conformations for a given protein is astronomical. ex: 100aa, 3 conf/aa => 5 10 47 conf 1 fold/10 -13 sec => 10 27 years (age of Universe 10 10 years) And yet protein do fold spontaneously in a matter of milliseconds. How can it be ? Hydrophobic- polar (HP) 2D- lattice model Levinthal’s paradox Elodie Laine – 18.12.2013
