Primary structure = order of amino acids in the protein chain
4
Anatomy of an amino acid
5
Non-polar (Hydrophobic) a.a
6
Polar, non-charged amino acids
7
Negatively-charged amino acids
8
Positively-charged amino acids
9
Charged/polar R-groups generally map to surfaces on soluble
proteins
10
Peptide Bonds
- -carboxyl of one amino acid is joined to -amino of a second amino acid (with removal of water)
- only -carboxyl and -amino groups are used, not R-group carboxyl or amino groups
11
peptide bond formation
12
13
The peptide bond is planar
14
Peptide bonds is planar and quite rigid.
Therefore the polypeptide chain has rotational freedom only about
bonds formed by alpha carbons.These bonds have been termed as Phi (alpha C – N) and
Psi angle (alpha C-C').However the rotational freedom about these abgles is limited
by steric hindrance between the side chains of the residues and the
peptide bachbone.

• Evolution conserves amino acids that are important to protein structure and function across species. Sequence comparison of multiple “homologs” of a particular protein reveals highly conserved regions that are important for function.
• Clusters of conserved residues are called “motifs” -- motifs carry out a particular function or form a particular structure that is important for the conserved protein.

Secondary structure = local folding of residues into regular patterns or local conformation of the polypetide chain
independent of the rest of the protein
17
Alpha helix and Beta sheets were actually predicted by Linus Pauling, Robert Corey and H R Branson in 1951.
Alpha helix and Beta sheets are the regular secondary structures.
-helix can be coiled in two directions, Left or right . Almost all helices Observed in proteins are Right Handed, as steric hinderance limit the ability of left handed helices to form.
Among the right handed helices the -helix is most prevalent.
-helix= 3.6 resideus per turn of the backbone coil.
18
The -helix• In the -helix, the carbonyl oxygen of residue “i” forms a hydrogen bond with the amide of residue “i+4”.
• Although each hydrogen bond is relatively weak in isolation, the sum of the hydrogen bonds in a helix makes it quite stable.
• The propensity of a peptide for forming an -helix also depends on its sequence.
19
The H bonding patterns of different helical secondary structures. The -helix Bonding occurs between the carbonyl oxygen of each residue and the amide proton of the residue 4 residue ahead in the helix. The 310 helix = the carbonyl oxygen of each residue and the amide proton of the residue 3 residue ahead, forming a more narrow and elongated helix.Pi helix= ith and i+5 forming a wider helix.The 27 ribbon is not a regular secondary structure.
. 20
The -sheet • In a -sheet, carbonyl oxygens and amides form hydrogen bonds.
• These secondary structures can be either antiparallel (as shown) or parallel and need not be planar (as shown) but can be twisted.
• The propensity of a peptide for forming -sheet also depends on its sequence.

22
Tertiary structure = global folding of a protein chain
23
Tertiary structures are quite varied
24
Quaternary structure = Higher-order assembly of proteins
25
Example of tertiary and quaternary structure - PriB homodimer
Example is PriB replication protein solved at UW: Lopper, Holton, and Keck (2004) Structure 12, 1967-75. 26
Examples of other quaternary structures

extended molecule27
Classes of proteinsFunctional definition:Enzymes: Accelerate biochemical reactions
Structural: Form biological structures
Transport: Carry biochemically important substances
Defense: Protect the body from foreign invaders
Structural definition:Globular: Complex folds, irregularly shaped tertiary structures
Fibrous: Extended, simple folds -- generally structural proteins
Cellular localization definition:Membrane: In direct physical contact with a membrane; generally
water insoluble.
Soluble: Water soluble; can be anywhere in the cell.28

Domains
A domain is a basic structural unit of a protein structure – distinct from those that make up the conformationsPart of protein that can fold into a stable structure independentlyDifferent domains can impart different functions to proteinsProteins can have one to many domains depending on protein size
31
Proteins other facts...
Non-covalent bonds can form interactions
between individual polypeptide chains
Binding site – where proteins interact with one another
Subunit – each polypeptide chain of large protein
Dimer – protein made of 2 subunits
• Can be same subunit or different subunits
