Study Notes
Protein Structure and Folding
- Peptides and proteins are formed by linking the primary amino group of one amino acid to the carboxyl group of the next amino acid, forming a peptide bond.
- Proteins have a unique 3-dimensional structure that is important for defining their role.
- The primary structure of a protein refers to the linear amino acid sequence of the polypeptide chain, which contains the information necessary to generate a protein molecule with a unique three-dimensional shape.
- There are four levels of protein structure: primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary.
- Secondary structure refers to local folded structures that form within a polypeptide due to interactions between atoms of the backbone.
- Alpha helix and beta sheet are examples of secondary structures.
- Tertiary structure refers to the overall 3-dimensional structure of a protein, primarily due to interactions between the R groups of the amino acids that make up the protein.
- Proteins can be categorized into two major groups: globular proteins and fibrous proteins.
- Quaternary structure refers to the 3-dimensional arrangement of multi-subunit proteins.
- Protein folding is spontaneous and contains all the information necessary to ensure that a protein folds correctly in the primary sequence of the protein itself.
- Misfolding of a protein can cause disease states as the protein is no longer able to function effectively.
- Denaturation is the loss of protein structure sufficient to cause the loss of function and can be brought about by breaking the bonds that maintain the protein's tertiary and secondary structure.
