Proteins Pgs. 101-103 Pgs. 71-80
2
Allosteric Enzymes Allosteric enzymes have 2 sites. Active site of the enzyme Additional site where another substance can lock in When the other substance is locked in, the active site is non-functional
3
End Product Inhibition—a specific type of Allosteric Inhibition As the end product accumulate, the steps in the product are stopped
4
Proteins: We Know That … Proteins are built by condensation reactions between amino acids Proteins have: Amino group, carboxyl group, H, all attached to a central carbon These are the functional groups that participate in condensation reactions Form peptide bonds
5
We know that … 20 amino acids What makes them different is their R group Amino acids can be: acidic, basic, hydrophobic, hydrophilic The 20 amino acids can be combined in any sequence, so there is a huge diversity of proteins
6
The structure of proteins 4 levels of structure: Primary Secondary Tertiary Quaternary Remember, any change to a protein’s shape (at any level) can change its function
7
Primary Sequence of amino acids Attached by peptide bonds Figure 5.18 (pg. 75)
8
Secondary Parts of the polypeptide chain take up a particular shape Folded and/or twisted α(alpha) helix β (beta) sheets These shapes are permanent, held by hydrogen bonds Between amino group and carboxyl group Figure 5.20 (pg. 76)
9
Tertiary Overall 3-D shape Precise, compact, unique to the protein Due to interactions between the R groups of each amino acid Bonding holds the structure: Hydrogen bonding Ionic bonding van der Waals interactions Disulfide bond – strongest
10
Quaternary Some proteins consist of 2 or more polypeptide chains Overall protein structure that results from the aggregation of polypeptide subunits Complex, biologically active Examples: Hemoglobin (4 polypeptide chains)
11
Denaturation So, how does denaturation fit into all of this?
12
Functions of proteins What are some functions of proteins?
13
Exit slip List the 4 levels of protein structure. Briefly outline the characteristics of each level.
