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.
