INTRODUCTION: PROTEIN

• Elements: C, H, O, N, and sometimes S.• Function: Enzymes, structural proteins,

storage proteins, transport proteins, hormones, proteins for movement, protection, and toxins.

Introduction

• The subunits of a protein are amino acids or to be precise amino acid residues.

• An amino acid consists of:– a central carbon atom (the alpha Carbon Calpha) and

an amino group (NH2), – a hydrogen atom (H),– a carboxy group (COOH) and– a side chain (R) which are bound to the Calpha.

General Structure

• Proteins are made from several amino acids, bonded together. It is the arrangement of the amino acid that forms the primary structure of proteins. The basic amino acid form has a carboxyl group on one end, a methyl group that only has one hydrogen in the middle, and a amino group on the other end. Attached to the methyl group is a R group.

General Structure

There are 20+ amino acids, each differing only in the composition of the R groups. An R group could be a sulfydrl, another methyl, a string a methyls, rings of carbons, and several other organic groups. Proteins can be either acidic or basic, hydrophilic or hydrophobic. The following table shows 20 amino acids that common in proteins.

Proteins play key roles in a living system

• Three examples of protein functions

– Catalysis:Almost all chemical reactions in a living cell are catalyzed by protein enzymes.

– Transport:Some proteins transports various substances, such as oxygen, ions, and so on.

– Information transfer:For example, hormones.

Alcohol dehydrogenase oxidizes alcohols to aldehydes or ketones

Haemoglobin carries oxygen

Insulin controls the amount of sugar in the blood

Protein structure prediction has remained elusive over half a century

“Can we predict a protein structure from its amino acid sequence?”

Now, impossible!

Protein Classification• Proteins can be described as having several layers of structure. At the lowest

level, the primary structure of proteins are nothing more that the amino acids which compose the protein, and how those proteins are bonded to each other. The bonds between proteins are called peptide bonds, and they can have either single bonds, double bonds, triple bonds, or more holding the amino acids into a protein molecule.

• At the next level, the secondary structure of proteins, proteins show a definite geometric pattern. One pattern that the protein can take is a helical structure, similar to a spiral staircase. Hair has such a secondary structure. When examined closely, you can see the turns in the proteins of hair molecules. A second geometric pattern is the pleated sheet, where several polypeptide chains go in several different directions. I think of a sheet of paper, or a length of fabric. When viewed closely, silk fibronin, the silk protein, forms such a shape. Skin, although made of more than just proteins, provides another example of a protein with a sheet structure. The following figure shows the pleated sheet secondary structure of silk.

Contoh struktur protein

• Skin fibroin

• Next, we find a tertiary structure to proteins. Here, we find the three-dimensional structure of the globular proteins, where disulfide bridges puts kinks and bends in the secondary structure. Again thinking about hair, some people have straight hair, some have wavy hair, and some have curly hair. The links and bends in the secondary structure causes the curls in hair. Curly hair has more kinks and bends that wavy hair, and straight hair has very few, if any bends

• Psoriasin

• At the last, we see the quaternary structure of proteins. This the the form taken by complex proteins formed from two or more smaller, polypeptide chains. The polypeptide chains form pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, that when put together form a single protein. Hemoglobin provides a good example, being made from four polypeptide chains.

Structure Stabilizing Interactions

• Noncovalent– Van der Waals forces (transient, weak electrical

attraction of one atom for another)– Hydrophobic (clustering of nonpolar groups)– Hydrogen bonding

Hydrogen Bonding

• Involves three atoms: – Donor electronegative atom (D)

(Nitrogen or Oxygen in proteins)

– Hydrogen bound to donor (H)– Acceptor electronegative atom (A) in close

proximity

D – H A

D-H Interaction• Polarization due to electron withdrawal

from the hydrogen to D giving D partial negative charge and the H a partial positive charge

• Proximity of the Acceptor A causes further charge separation

D – H Aδ- δ+ δ-

D-H Interaction• Polarization due to electron withdrawal from the

hydrogen to D giving D partial negative charge and the H a partial positive charge

• Proximity of the Acceptor A causes further charge separation

• ω angle tends to be planar (0º - cis, or 180 º - trans) due to delocalization of carbonyl pi electrons and nitrogen lone pair

• φ and ψ are flexible, therefore rotation occurs here

• ω angle tends to be planar (0º - cis, or 180 º - trans) due to delocalization of carbonyl pi electrons and nitrogen lone pair

• φ and ψ are flexible, therefore rotation occurs here

• However, φ and ψ of a given amino acid residue are limited due to steric hindrance

Steric Hindrance

• Interference to rotation caused by spatial arrangement of atoms within molecule

• Atoms cannot overlap• Atom size defined by van der Waals radii• Electron clouds repel each other

• φ and ψ are flexible, therefore rotation occurs here

• However, φ and ψ of a given amino acid residue are limited due to steric hindrance

• Only 10% of the {φ, ψ} combinations are generally observed for proteins

• First noticed by G.N. Ramachandran

Sequence Similarity

• Sequence similarity implies structural, functional, and evolutionary commonality

• Low sequence similarity implies little structural similarity

• Small mutations generally well-tolerated by native structure – with exceptions!

Sequence Similarity Exception• Sickle-cell anemia resulting from one residue

change in hemoglobin protein• Replace highly polar (hydrophilic) glutamate

with nonpolar (hydrophobic) valine

Sickle-cell mutation in hemoglobin sequence

Normal Trait• Hemoglobin molecules exist as single,

isolated units in RBC, whether oxygen bound or not

• Cells maintain basic disc shape, whether transporting oxygen or not

Sickle-cell Trait

• Oxy-hemoglobin is isolated, but de-oxyhemoglobin sticks together in polymers, distorting RBC

• Some cells take on “sickle” shape

Sickle-cell

RBC Distortion• Hydrophobic valine replaces hydrophilic glutamate• Causes hemoglobin molecules to repel water and be

attracted to one another• Leads to the formation of long hemoglobin filaments

Mutant

RBC Distortion• Hydrophobic valine replaces hydrophilic glutamate• Causes hemoglobin molecules to repel water and be

attracted to one another• Leads to the formation of long hemoglobin filaments • Filaments distort the shape of red blood cells

(analogy: icicle in a water balloon)• Rigid structure of sickle cells blocks capillaries and

prevents red blood cells from delivering oxygen

Capillary Blockage

Sickle-cell Trait

• Oxy-hemoglobin is isolated, but de-oxyhemoglobin sticks together in polymers, distorting RBC

• Some cells take on “sickle” shape• When hemoglobin again binds oxygen,

again becomes isolated• Cyclic alteration damages hemoglobin

and ultimately RBC itself
