H2OH2O How much of you is protein?
3
Amino Acids: “Dry” form Carboxylic acid Amino group Radical group
4
Ionization? What’s it do in water? H+H+ H+H+ “wet” form
5
Amino Acids: (cont) 20 various radical groups nonpolarsome nonpolar polar or chargedsome polar or charged
6
Condensation or Dehydration Synthesis
7
Peptide bond Dipeptide dipeptide Synthesis of a dipeptide:
9
Protein Structure: The final shape of a protein determines its function Proteins are either globular or fibrous
10
Levels of Protein Structure: There are four possible levels of folding 1) Primary (1 0 ) 2) Secondary (2 0 ) 3) Tertiary (3 0 ) 4) Quaternary (4 0 )
11
Folding Nothing more than the amino acid sequence What forces hold it in this structure? ex? Lysozyme
12
Pro-Insulin- a globular protein Primary structure
13
Insulin- the finished hormone
14
Folding Actual folding Radicals not involved (yet) Forces responsible? Hydrogen Bonds Two possibilities Helix & Pleats
16
Helix (first type found)
17
Pleats (the second found)
18
Folding Results in final shape Actual folding Result of radical group interactions Four types of forces
19
Folding Bonding of two different polypeptides Covalently bonded
20
Denaturation of Proteins Destruction of its“native” configuration Environmental cause? 3-D shape is fragile temperature & pH changes
21
Support Keratin
22
Support Collagen
23
Enzymes Catalase Active site 2H 2 O 2 O2O2 2H 2 O
24
Transport Hemoglobin
25
Transport Channel Proteins
26
Transport Microtubules
27
