CHE 242 Unit VIII The Structure, Properties, Reactions and Mechanisms of Carboxylic Acids and Their Derivatives CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR Terrence P. Sherlock Burlington County College 2004 Structure of Proteins => Chapter 24 2 Stereochemistry of -Amino Acids => Chapter 24 3 Essential Amino Acids • • • • • Arginine (Arg) Threonine (Thr) Lysine (Lys) Valine (Val) Phenylalanine (Phe) • • • • • Tryptophan (Trp) Methionine (Met) Histidine (His) Leucine (Leu) Isoleucine (Ile) => Chapter 24 4 Complete Proteins • • • • Provide all the essential amino acids. Examples: those in meat, fish, milk, eggs. Plant proteins are generally incomplete. Vegetarians should eat many different kinds of plants, or supplement diet with milk or eggs. => Chapter 24 5 Rare Amino Acids • 4-Hydroxyproline, 5-hydroxylysine found in collagen. • D-Glutamic acid in cell walls of bacteria • D-Serine in earthworms • -Aminobutyric acid, a neurotransmitter • -Alanine, constituent of the vitamin pantothenic acid. => Chapter 24 6 Zwitterion • Amino acid exists as a dipolar ion. • -COOH loses H+, -NH2 gains H+. • Actual structure depends on pH. Chapter 24 => 7 Properties of Amino Acids • High melting points, over 200C • More soluble in water than in ether. • Larger dipole moments than simple acids or simple amines. • Less acidic than most carboxylic acids, less basic than most amines. O pKa = 10 _ + H3N CH C O pKb = 12 R Chapter 24 => 8 Structure and pH => Chapter 24 9 Isoelectric Point • pH at which amino acids exist as the zwitterion (neutral). • Depends on structure of the side chain. • Acidic amino acids, isoelectric pH ~3. • Basic amino acids, isoelectric pH ~9. • Neutral amino acids, isoelectric pH is slightly acidic, 5-6. => Chapter 24 10 Electrophoresis => Chapter 24 11 Reaction with Ninhydrin • Used to visualize spots or bands of amino acids separated by chromatography or electrophoresis. • Deep purple color formed with traces of any amino acid. => Chapter 24 12 Structure of Peptide • The peptide bond is an amide bond. • Amides are very stable and neutral. => Chapter 24 13 Peptide Bond Formation • The amino group of one molecule condenses with the acid group of another. • Polypeptides usually have molecular weight less than 5000. • Protein molecular weight 6000-40,000,000. => Chapter 24 14 Classification of Proteins • Simple: hydrolyze to amino acids only. • Conjugated: bonded to a nonprotein group, such as sugar, nucleic acid, or lipid. • Fibrous: long, stringy filaments, insoluble in water, function as structure. • Globular: folded into spherical shape, function as enzymes, hormones, or transport proteins. => Chapter 24 15 Levels of Protein Structure • Primary: the sequence of the amino acids in the chain and the disulfide links. • Secondary: structure formed by hydrogen bonding. Examples are helix and pleated sheet. • Tertiary: complete 3-D conformation. • Quaternary: association of two or more peptide chains to form protein. => Chapter 24 16 Alpha Helix Each carbonyl oxygen can hydrogen bond with an N-H hydrogen on the next turn of the coil. => Chapter 24 17 Pleated Sheet Each carbonyl oxygen hydrogen bonds with an N-H hydrogen on an adjacent peptide chain. => Chapter 24 18 Summary of Structure => Chapter 24 19 Denaturation • Disruption of the normal structure of a protein, such that it loses biological activity. • Usually caused by heat or changes in pH. • Usually irreversible. A cooked egg cannot be “uncooked.” => Chapter 24 20 Chapter 24 21 POWER POINT IMAGES FROM “ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, 5TH EDITION” L.G.
