Proteins… ► Let’s Review…… then….. ► Let’s discover proteins…. ► PollEv.com/tinalambiase209
2
Functions of Proteins … ► Enzymes – reduces activation energy Ex: amylase – helps to digest amylose ATP synthase – helps to make ATP Structural Proteins – provide support ex: elastin, horn, silk (web), keratin (hair & nails) Movement – actin and myosin muscles Defense – antibodies in bloodstream Storage – albumin in egg whites Signaling – growth hormones in bloodstream
5
What do you think is happening to the proteins within these eggs???? ►!►!►!►!
6
Proteins ► C, H, O, N and sometimes S ► Made in ribosomes ► Cell membranes ► Hormones (insulin) ► Hemoglobin ► Enzymes (control the rate of reactions)
7
Building Blocks of Proteins Amino Acids ► Amino Group – NH 2 ► Carboxyl group –COOH ► Variable group –R
8
Dehydration Synthesis of Proteins ► Removal of a water molecule from amino acids to make proteins. Dipeptide – two amino acids together Tripeptide – three amino acids together Polypeptide – more than three amino acids together All linked together with “ Peptide Bonds ”
9
Dehydration Synthesis of Proteins ► Amino Acid + Amino Acid -- Dipeptide + Water
10
Removing the water molecule ► Producing a peptide bond
11
Dehydration Synthesis of Proteins
12
Dipeptide ► Locate your peptide bond!!!
13
Can you draw a peptide bond? ► Which two functional groups join to make the peptide bond???
14
How do we break proteins down?? HYDROLYSIS ► Add the water molecule back in to replace the peptide bond ► Put the amino acids back to the way they were!!! ► Each amino acid must have an amino group –NH 2 and a carboxyl group -- COOH
15
Hydrolysis ► Dipeptide + water = amino acid + amino acid ► Tripeptide + 2 water molecules = amino acid + amino acid + amino acid ► NOW YOU TRY……
16
Hydrolysis of Proteins
17
Hydrolysis is the OPPOSITE of dehydration synthesis ► What reaction is this? ► Can you locate the peptide bond?
