Study Notes
Protein Structure and Function
- Globular proteins have a compact, globular structure and are water soluble.
- Myoglobin and hemoglobin are examples of globular proteins.
Myoglobin
- The primary function of myoglobin is to store oxygen in muscles.
- The heme group in myoglobin plays a crucial role in binding oxygen.
Hemoglobin
- The primary function of hemoglobin is to transport oxygen from lungs to tissues.
- The quaternary structure of hemoglobin is a tetramer, consisting of two alpha and two beta subunits.
- The heme group in hemoglobin plays a crucial role in binding oxygen.
- The change in conformation of hemoglobin from T state to R state is triggered by the binding of oxygen.
- The main function of hemoglobin is to transport oxygen from lungs to tissues.
- Protons and CO2 decrease hemoglobin's affinity for oxygen.
Collagen
- The primary function of collagen is to provide structure and strength to connective tissue.
- The secondary structure of collagen helix is a triple helix.
- Hydroxyproline is required for the formation of collagen, and vitamin C is necessary for its formation.
- Osteogenesis imperfecta is a disease caused by a genetic disorder resulting in fragile bones that break easily.
Muscle Proteins
- Myosin has two subunits: heavy chain and light chain.
- Actin polymerizes to form microfilaments.
