Protein structure Marlou Snelleman 2012 Overview Sequence to structure Hydrogen bonds Helices Sheets Turns Hydrophobicity Helices Sheets Structure and function Active sites DNA binding Transmembrane PDB Sequence to structure Sequences do not exist Structures do! DVTVSDNGTS ITITSGRLEA TDKVVALEDG ASLYIAKP Amino acids – Hydrogen bonds The amino acids can make hydrogen bonds with their backbone, and some with their side chain A hydrogen bond needs a donor: donates a hydrogen (N-H or O-H) an acceptor: accepts the donated hydrogen (N or O) Example Hydrogen bonds - Helices Amino acids in a helix make hydrogen bonds with their backbone from O of residue 1 to the N-H of residue 5 Etc. Hydrogen bonds - Sheets Parallel Anti-parallel Hydrogen bonds - Turns 2 3 1 4 Hydrophobicity Hydrophobicity – Protein structure Secondary structure elements tend to have one side turned to the surface (hydrophilic) one side turned to the core (hydrophobic) Hydrophobicity – Helices Most helices have one side hydrophobic and one side hydrophilic Pattern: XOOOXOOXOOOX hydrophobic:O hydrophilic: X Approximately! Hydrophilic Hydrophobic Hydrophobicity – Sheets Pattern: OXOXOXOX (hydrophobic:O, hydrophilic: X) Hydrophobic Hydrophilic Structure and function The structure of the protein relates to the function Sometimes the protein needs other subunits to be functional For example: Hemoglobin Structure and function – Active sites Active site: amino acids in this site have an active function For example: Cleaving a peptide bond (Trypsin) Binding a ligand (GTPases) Catalyze a reaction (Amylase) Active and/or binding sites are often in a cavity in the protein Structure and function – Active sites Structure and function – Active sites Structure and function – DNA binding Structure and function – Transmembrane Transmembrane proteins are ‘inside-out’ proteins situated in the hydrophobic membrane Protein surface hydrophobic Protein core hydrophilic Function at the inside of the protein For example: proton or ion channels PDB – Database of protein structures Structures can be solved by crystallography or NMR Protein DNA and RNA Complexes Data of these experiments is in PDB-files One file contains the coordinates of each atom of the protein Yasara can make a 3D picture out of these complicated files
