Protein Structure 1
Primary and Secondary Structure
Proteins fold into the local minimum free energy structure
defined by their primary sequence.
The native structure may not be the global free energy structure.
Polypeptide chains can assume an infinite number of potential
structures. The physical chemistry of the peptide bond and steric
hindrance between the peptide bond elements restrict the
potential structures assumed by a polypeptide to a finite number
of structures.
Hierarchy of Protein Structure
Primary sequence- The amino acid sequence of a polypeptide, listed from
N-terminus to C-terminus.
Secondary structure- Recurring structural feature of proteins stabilized
exclusively by hydrogen bonds between peptide bond elements.
Supersecondary structure- Recurring structural feature of proteins
composed of two or more secondary structural elements.
Domain- A segment of protein structure that is autonomously stable.
Tertiary structure- A stable, independent protein encoded by a single gene.
Quaternary structure- A complex structure composed of two or more tertiary
structure subunits.

Results in a Dipole
Peptide Bonds Favor the trans Configuration Except
When Proline is Present
poly-alanine (trans:cis = 2500:1)
alanyl-prolyl (trans:cis = 4:1)
In cells, prolyl peptide isomerization is catalyzed by Prolyl isomerase.
Resonance in the Peptide Bond Results in Planarity of the
Peptide Bond
