Amino acids R-groupsnon-polar polar acidic basic proteinscondensation between carboxylic acids and amines + + H2OH2O carboxylic acid amine amide
2
Amides amides resonance structure alanine glycine Ala-Gly +H 2 O dipeptide

Primary structure sequence of amino acids hemoglobintransports O 2 and CO 2 4 protein chains 300 amino acids 6th amino acid from N-terminus Glu Val -CH 2 CH 2 -CO 2 H -CH(CH 3 ) 2 R Sickle cell anemia water soluble water insoluble
5
Primary structure study evolution -chain 146 residues horses - humans = 26 pigs - humans = 10 gorillas - humans = 1 1 successful change / Primary structure - 10,000,000 years selective hydrolysis

Secondary structure hydrogen bonding backbone groups H-bond donors N1-N1- C1-C1-C1-C1-N2-N2-C2-C2-C2-C2-N3-N3-C3-C3-C3-C3- _ H _ H = O OH _ H _ H = O = O _ R _ R _ R H-bond acceptors Two main secondary structures : -helix -sheet
8
Alpha helix Every C=Obonded to N-H4 residues away forms a helix core is backbone R-groups outside 3.6 amino acids per turn proline breaks helix = O C no H-bonding C = O N H
9
Beta sheet Every C=Obonded to N-Hfar apart in 1 o structure on different chains peptide chains extendedside-by-side maximal H-bonding for anti-parallel chains small R-groupsabove and below the sheet if not -helix or -sheet random coil
