    Study Notes

    Protein Structure and Folding

    • Proteins are composed of amino acid residues linked by peptide bonds.
    • The primary structure of a protein refers to its amino acid sequence.
    • Secondary structures of proteins include α-helix, β-sheet, and β-bend.
    • An α-helix is a coiled structure stabilized by intra-chain hydrogen bonds.
    • A β-sheet is an extended conformation with side chains alternately above and below the plane of the strand.
    • Tertiary structure refers to the overall 3-dimensional structure of a protein, involving folding of secondary structures and interactions between amino acids far apart in the primary sequence.
    • Larger proteins tend to have distinct domains with specific functions.
    • Chaperones are specialized proteins required for proper protein folding.
    • Quaternary structure refers to the arrangement of polypeptide chains in proteins.
    • Denaturation is the loss of protein structure and function caused by breaking the bonds that maintain the protein’s tertiary and secondary structure.
    • Denaturing agents include heat, organic solvents, mechanical mixing, strong acids or bases, and heavy metal ions.
    • β-Mercapto-ethanol can reduce disulfide bonds and denature proteins.
