So there are n-4 H-bonds in a helix of n amino acids; 310 helix: carbonyl oxygen of the ith residue forms H-bond with

Contrast tertiary structure with secondary structure, which refers primarily with the arrangement of amino acids that are adjacent in the primary structure (sequence), or very close in the primary s

In changing configuration, covalent bonds must be broken. A particular stereochemistry about a given center is consider

32、ed to be a configuration. The primary sequence of a protein is a configuration.Conformation denotes the 3-D architecture of a protein. It is established by a variety of weak forces. In contrast to configuration,a conformation can change readily. The conformation of a protein is first and foremost es

33、tablished by its primary structure (amino acid sequence). Its interaction with solvent (generally H2O) and the pH and ionic composition are also critical in establishing and/or maintaining a proteins conformation.

34、n 120aa)Forces that Influence Protein Tertiary Structure Hydrogen bonds - The atoms of the peptide bond will tend to form hydrogen bonds whenever possible. Amino acid side chains that are capable of forming hydrogen bonds will typically be found on the surface of proteins, so that they may interact

35、with water. Although the energy of the hydrogen bond (12 kJ/mol) is fairly weak when compared to covalent interactions, they are numerous, and together contribute a significant amount of energy and stability to protein conformation. Hydrophobic interactions - The interior of are proteins almost excl

It contains a Greek key in its fold.The b b-helix1.first observed in pectate lyase C of Erwinia chrysanthemi in 19932.has now been observed in more than a dozen proteins - some are enzymes and some are not -

42、 for example, the filamentous hemagglutinin secretion domain contains this motif (PNAS, Vol 101, p. 6194, April 2004). 3.the structural motif consists of three parallel b b -sheets that wrap around to form a b b-helix. Protein DomainsProtein domains are distinct, stable, globular units or folds with

43、in a single polypeptide.Frequently domains will retain their correct three-dimensional structure when cleaved proteolytically from the parent peptide, or when expressed as a singly entity.Different domains will often have distinct functions in the parent protein.The muscle protein, troponin C (shown

44、 at left), appears like a dumbell. The two lobes (blue and purple), which represent two domains, function to bind calcium ions.DNA polymerase has three domains A domain is a segment of the polypeptide that forms a stable structure independently of the the remainder of the protein.Quaternary Structur

45、eThe majority of proteins in nature exist as oligomers, which are complexes (noncovalent associations) of two or more monomer subunits. The number and arrangement of these complexes is referred to the proteins quaternary structure. As previously discussed, these subunits can be identical (homomultim

46、ers), or nonidentical (heteromultimers). Hemoglobin is composed of four chains, which are two alpha chains and 2 beta chains. It is a tetramer, or a dimer of b protomers.A protomer is the simplest repeating structural unit of an oligomeric protein.The advantages of oligomerization are multifold. 1.

47、There is usually an increase in stability of the protein, due to a less surface to volume ratio. 2. Allows for regulation. 3. Less DNA is need to encode a homomultimer than a large polypeptide of a similar size. 4o structure: hemoglobin is composed of four polypeptide chains A cartoon representation

48、 of deoxyhemoglobin is shown (the hemes are not shown). The quaternary structure of a protein refers to how the polypeptide chains (also known as the protein subunits) pack together.Sickle cell disease: The Glu to Val mutation alters the surface charge in hemoglobin S A spacefilling model of hemoglo

49、bin is shown. Heme groups are shown in black and Glu 6 is shown in red. Mutation of Glu 6 to Val in hemoglobin S results in a hydrophobic patch on the surface of the protein. In sickle cell disease, deoxyhemoglobin S forms 14-stranded helices which are insoluble and lead to formation of the sickle-s

50、haped red cell. A model of the 14-stranded helix is shown at the left.SummaryProteins have four levels of structural organization Primary structure = linear sequence of amino acids Secondary structure = -helices and b b-sheets Tertiary structure = packing of 2o structures Quaternary structure = pack
