Proteins Part II
Essential, Nonessential, and Conditional
Essential – must be consumed in the dietNonessential – can be synthesized in the bodyConditionally essential – cannot be synthesized due to
illness or lack of necessary precursors
Types of proteins
PROTEIN SHAPE/ Structure of the Protein
Functional protein consists of one or more
polypeptides precisely twisted, folded and coiled.
Denaturation is the process in
which a protein unravels and loses its normal shape.
Changes in pH and
temperature
Bonds between amino acids (from monomers to polymers)
chemical reaction: Dehydration Reaction
Structure of the Protein Any alteration
in the structure
or sequencing changes the shape
and function
of the protein
Denaturing
Alteration of the protein´s shape and thus functions through the use of HeatAcidsBasesSaltsMechanical
agitation
Denaturing a Protein
ENZYMES
Weaken chemical bonds.
Molecules absorb energy.
“start-up” energy is called Activation energy.
Heating up would cause unnecessary reactions to occur at once.
Catalysts (compounds that speed up reactions).
Lowers the energetic requirement.
Lock and key.
Specific substrate for the enzyme.
HOW DO ENZYMES WORK?

Quick Review Proteins are chains of combination of amino acids
Amino acids contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sometimes sulfur
Unique amino acids consist of a central carbon with a carboxyl group, a hydrogen, a nitrogen-containing amine group, and a unique side chain
There are 20 side chains and 20 unique amino acids
9 essential amino acids
11 nonessential amino acids
At time these become conditionally essential
Amino acids link together with peptide bonds by condensation and break apart by hydrolysis
Quick Review
Attractions and interactions between the side chains cause the proteins to fold into precise three-dimensional shapes
Protein shape determines its functionProteins are denatured and their shapes
changed byHeat

Quick Review
Protein structure has 4 levels:
a)Primary structure
b)Secondary structure
c)Tertiary structure
d)Quaternary structure
Denaturation is the Alteration of the protein´s shape and thus functions through the use of Heat
