PROTEIN MD. ARIFUR RAHMAN LECTURER, GOVT. AZIZUL HAQUE COLLEGE, BOGRA. WHAT IS PROTEIN? • The name protein is derived from a Greek word Proteios which means pre-eminent or first/ Most important. This name was first suggested in 1838 by a Swedish chemist Berzelius. • Proteins are known as building blocks of life. Proteins are large biomolecules, that consists of many amino acids. Proteins differ from each other mainly in the sequences & number of amino acids. • Protein is large biomolecule with higher molecular weight that produces Amino acids after hydrolysis. • They provide structure, protection to the body of multicellular organism in the form of skin, hair, callus(hard thickening skin), cartilage, ligaments, muscles, tendons. • Proteins perform variety of functions like regulate and catalyze the body chemistry in the form of hormones, enzymes, immunoglobulins, replication of DNA, response to stimuli, and transporting molecules. HOW PROTEIN FORMS? Various Proteins are formed by 20 Amino Acids making bond between them which varies both in numbers and sequence. CHARACTERISTICS OF PROTEINS 1. Proteins are colorless and tasteless. 2. They are homogeneous and crystalline. 3. They are colloidal in nature. 4.The nature of protein can be changed by various physical & chemical process. In other word denaturation may be a result of either physical or chemical agents. The physical agents include, shaking, freezing, heating etc. Chemical agents are like X-rays, radioactive and ultrasonic radiations. 5.Proteins are soluble in water, dilute acidic & alkaline medium and salt solution. 6.Proteins coagulate if acid is applied. CLASSIFICATION OF PROTEINS Classification of Proteins Based on Shape They are grouped under two categories globular and fibrous. A. Globular or Corpuscular Proteins Globular proteins have axial ratio less than 10. They are compactly folded and coiled. and possess a relatively spherical or ovoid shape. They are usually soluble in water and in aqueous media. Example Insulin, plasma albumin, globulin enzymes. B. Fibrous or Fibrillar Proteins These proteins have axial ratio more than 10, hence, they resemble long ribbons or fibres in shape. They are mostly found in animals, and are not soluble in water or in solution of dilute acids. Fibrous proteins aid in protection and structural support. Example: Collagen, Keratin, Elastins, Fibroin. Classification of Proteins Based on Composition and Solubility A. Simple protein B. Conjugated protein & C. Derived protein. Simple Proteins or Holoproteins: These proteins are made of only one type of amino acid, as structural component, on decomposition with acids, they liberate constituent amino acids. They are mostly globular type of proteins except for scleroproteins, which are fibrous in nature. Simple proteins are further classified based on their solubility. 1. 2. 3. 4. Albumins - They are soluble in water and dilute solutions of salts. They are widely distributed in nature, mostly seen in seeds. They are coagulated by heat. Example: β-Amylose Albumin of Barley, Leucosine, legumeline, serum albumin. Also in egg white, plasma of blood, milk. Globulins - They are almost insoluble in water, but are soluble in dilute salt solution. Example: Pseudoglobulin, serum globulin, glycinine. Also in egg yolk, blood plasma. Protamines and histones - These proteins occur only in animals and are basic proteins. The possess simple structure and low molecular, are water soluble and are not coagulated by heat. They are strongly basic in character due to the high content of lysine, arginine. Example: Protamines - salmine, clupine, cyprinine; Histones - nucleoshistones, globin. Scleroproteins or Albuminoids - These occur mostly in animals and are commonly known as animal skeleton proteins. They are insoluble in water, and in dilute solution of acids, based and salts. CONJUGATED OR COMPLEX PROTEINS OR HETEROPROTEINS These are proteins that are made of amino acids and other organic compounds. The non-amino acid group is termed as prosthetic group. Complex proteins are further classified based on the type of prosthetic group present. 1. Nucleoproteins - These are compounds containing nucleic acids and 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. proteins. Example: Nucleoproteins, nucleohistones, nuclein. Glycoproteins and Mucoproteins - These proteins contain carbohydrates as the prosthetic group. Example: Glycoproteins - egg albumin, serum globulins, serum albumins; Mucoproteins - Ovomucoid, mucin etc. Lipoproteins - Proteins forming complexes with lipids are lipoproteins. Example: lipovitellin, lipoproteins of blood. Chromoproteins - These are proteins that are coupled with a colored pigment. Example: Myoglubin, hemocyanin, cytochromes, flavoproteins, etc. Metalloproteins - These are proteins linked with various metals. Example: casein, collagen, ceruloplasmin, etc. Phosphoproteins - These proteins are linked with phosphoric acid. Example: casein. DERIVED PROTEINS • These are proteins that are derived from the action of heat, enzyme or chemical reagents. • Derived proteins are of two types, primarily derived proteins and secondary derived proteins. Primary derived proteins are derivatives of proteins, in which the size of the protein molecule is not altered materially, while in secondary derived proteins, hydrolysis occurs, as a result the molecules are smaller than the original proteins. A. Primary derived proteins are classified into three types - Proteans, Infraproteins and Coagulated proteins. Example: edestan, coagulated eggwhite. B. Secondary derived proteins are further classified into 3 types Proteoses, Peptones and Polypeptides. FUNCTION OF PROTEIN • Nutrient and Storage Proteins : These proteins provide nutrition to growing embryos and store ions or act as storage food and also produce energy in the time of necessity. • Structural Proteins: Theses proteins aid in strengthening or protecting biological structures. Example: Collagen, elastin, keratin, etc. • Proteins take part in the formation of membranes of cell & organales, egLipoproteins. • Enzymic Proteins: They are the most varied and highly specialized proteins with catalytic activity. Enzymes catalyze a variety of reactions. Example: Urease, pepsin etc. • Defense Proteins: These proteins defend against other organisms. Example: Antibodies, Fibrinogen, thrombin. • Regulatory Proteins: They regulate cellular or metabolic activities by producing hormones. Example: Insulin, Testosterone, etc. • Toxic protein: Many animals & plants produce and use toxic protein to catch prey or to defend themselves. E.g. Snake venom. • Hemoglobin protein carries oxygen in animals. • Interferon produces automatically in the body against viral infection. It may be used to destroy cancer cell or virus. • Contractile or Motile Proteins: These proteins function in the contractile system. Example: Actin, myosin, tubulin, etc. • Transport or Carrier Proteins: These proteins help in transport of ions or molecules in the body. Example: Myoglobin.
