Why protein structure? 2. Structure organization •Building blocks (amino acids), primary structure •Secondary structure •Super-secondary structure •Tertiary structure •Quaternary structure •Multi-domain proteins Why protein structure? In the post-genomic era, focus has been extended from sequence to structure The advent of the post-genomic era Mechanism of Protein function Drug Receptors Mad cows disease and the Prion protein Prion protein------Memory? Protein mis-folding can cause diseases Mad cows disease and the Prion protein Prion protein------Memory? Protein mis-folding can cause diseases Drug Design: Success Story of Anti-HIV HIV-1 protease Specific disease proteins are targets for drug discovery Knowledge of their structure useful for drug design Protein sequence-structure-function relationship Protein structure determines its function Function of Proteins is determined by their four level structures Primary - Sequence of amino acids Secondary - Shape of specific region along chain mostly through Hbonding Tertiary - 3 Dimensional structure of globular protein through molecular folding Quaternary - Combination of separate polypeptide and prosthetic group. Aggregation and prosthetic. 1. Primary structure Proteins are polymers of a set of 20 amino acids. 20 amino acids = building units. Chiral Center asymmetric carbon The general formula for α-amino acid. 20 different R groups in the commonly occurring amino acids. All naturally occurring amino acids that make up proteins are in the L conformation The CORN method for L isomers: put the hydrogen towards you and read off CO R N clockwise around the Ca This works for all amino acids. Classification of 20 R groups Aliphatic residues Aromatic residues Acidic Negatively charged Charged residues Basic Positively charged Neutral-Polar residues The unique couple Cg Side chain = H H Ca Cb Imino Cd Ca Structure of peptide bonds Through hydrolysis reactions, amino acids are connected through peptide bond to form a peptide/protein. O H 2N CH O C OH H N H CH CH3 C OH CH2 SH O H 2N CH CH3 O C N H CH CH2 Amide Ala Val SH C OH + H2O • Key features: – – – – 1. Planar 2. Rigid due to partial double bond character. 3. Almost always in trans configuration. 4. Polar. Can form at least two hydrogen bonds. The peptide unit is a planar, rigid structure Peptide Unit The peptide bond has a partial double-bonded character due to delocalization of the electron pair of the C=O group. Its bond length 1.33 Å is shorter than the C-N bond length (1.45 Å), about 40% double bond character. The peptide unit is a planar, rigid structure Each unit can rotate around two bonds (two degrees of freedom): Ca -C bond angle of rotation psi () N- Ca bond angle of rotation phi () Computed Ramachandran Plot White = sterically disallowed conformations (atoms come closer than sum of van der Waals radii) Blue = sterically allowed conformations Van der Waals Interactions • van der Waals attraction occurs at short range, and rapidly dies off as the interacting atoms move apart. • Repulsion occurs when the distance between interacting atoms becomes even slightly less than the sum of their contact distance. Van der Waals radii is the value of rij of the lowest van der Waals energy 2. Secondary structure Local organization mainly involving the protein backbone: -a-helix, -b-strand (further assemble into b-sheets) -turn and interconnecting loop The (right-handed) a-helix -d i+8 i+4 Hydrogen bond i +d • First structure to be predicted (Pauling, Corey, Branson: 1951) and experimentally solved (Kendrew et al. 1958) – myoglobin • Turn: 3.6 residues • Pitch: 5.4 Å/turn • Rise: 1.5 Å/residue Helix and Ramachandran Plot The b-sheet • Side chains project alternately up or down b strand b-Sheet and Ramachandran Plot Turn Structures Loop structures Ramachandran plot and Secondary Structure 3.

Tertiary structure – secondary structure elements pack into a compact spatial unit – “Two methods now available to determine 3D structures of proteins: X-ray crystallography and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Secondary Structural Components of Protein The three-dimensional structure of a protein is determined by non-covalent interactions among amino acids •1. Hydrophobic region (nonpolar R- interactions) R-CH3 --- H3C-R •2. H-bonding between R-group G-OH --- N=R •3. Salt bridge R-COO- --- +NH3-R •4. van der Waals forces Hydrophobic Interactions in Protein Hydrogen Bond Interactions in Protein The classic experiment by Anfinsen in 1950s on Ribonuclease Native state catalytically active addition of urea and mercaptoethanol Unfolded state; inactive. Disulfide reduced removal of urea and mercaptoethanol Native, catalytically active state. Disulfide correctly re-formed. Disulfide Bridges Disulfide bridges in extracellular proteins oxidation of 2 cysteine SH groups Covalent S-S bond formed. Driving Forces in Folding • Hydrophobic effect – bury hydrophobic side chains – expose polar/charged side chains to solvent – ion-pair or “salt-bridge” for buried charges • Hydrogen bonding – between backbone N and O atoms – between N, O and S side chain atoms Side-chain Interaction •Amino acid sidechains interact with each other and irresponsible for the globular shape of the protein. 5. Quaternary Structure Highest level of protein organization Referring to the arrangement of homo- or heteromeric subunits (i.e., chains) and prosthetic groups i.e.,nonamino acid portion) fit as an organized whole.
