3 Proteins protein definition From gr. proteios (superior, erstrangig) 1836 JJ Berzelius Functions: structural, enzymes, muscle, transport immune system, Linear polymer of amino acid residues. Connection: peptide bond Polypeptide chain 3D structure: 1950s Myoglobin, hemolobin (Kendrew and Perutz)

4 4 levels of protein structure Primary: the linear sequence of amino acids Secondary: the local organization of parts of a polypeptide chain (α-helix, β-sheet) Tertiary: the overall, three-dimensional arrangement of the polypeptide chain (Domain: folding unit) Quaternary: the assembly of two or more polypeptides into a multisubunit complex

5 Part I protein main chain

6 Amino acids the building blocks In general: 2 functional groups α-amino acids R: side chain: 20 different amino acids encoded

7 the building blocks α-carboxyl group pka 2.0 α-amino group pka 9.5

8 The fractional protonation at a certain ph and the pi can be calculated by the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation. pka and pi

9 Absolute configuration the building blocks Amino acids contain asymmetric carbons. α-l amino acids S configuration
