B2 Protein structure - TertiaryThe different sections of -helix, -sheet, other minor secondary structure and connecting loops of a polypeptide fold in three dimensions
![Page 5: -helix right-handed 3.6 aa per turn hydrogen bond N-H···O=C Collagen triple helix: three polypeptide intertwined A stereo, space-filling representation](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051516/56649e4c5503460f94b420d2/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Noncovalent interaction between side chains that hold the tertiary structure together: van der Waals forces, hydrogen bonds, electrostatic salt bridges, hydrophobic interactionsCovalent interaction: disulfide bonds
Denaturation of protein by disruption of its 2o and 3o structure will lead to a random coil conformation
B2 Protein structure and function
![Page 6: -helix right-handed 3.6 aa per turn hydrogen bond N-H···O=C Collagen triple helix: three polypeptide intertwined A stereo, space-filling representation](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051516/56649e4c5503460f94b420d2/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Many proteins are composed of two or more polypeptide chains (subunits). These subunits may be identical or different. The same forces which stabilize tertiary structure hold these subunits together. This level of organization called quaternary structure.

B2 Protein structure - Quaternary
![Page 7: -helix right-handed 3.6 aa per turn hydrogen bond N-H···O=C Collagen triple helix: three polypeptide intertwined A stereo, space-filling representation](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051516/56649e4c5503460f94b420d2/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Advantages of the quaternary structure:1. It allows very large protein molecules to be mad
e, such as tubulin 。2. It can provide greater functionality to a protein b
y combining different activities into a single entity.
3. The interactions between the subunits can often be modified by binding of small molecules and lead to the allosteric effects seen in enzyme regulation

Protein Folding: chaperones are involved in vivo
(1) The rapidly reversible formation of local secondary structure
(2) Formation of domains through the cooperative aggregation of folding nuclei
(3) Assembly of domains into a “molten” globule
(4) Conformational adjustment of the monomer
(5) Final conformational adjustment of the dimeric protein to form the native structure.

Mass Determination
Gel filtration chromatography and SDS-PAGE
•Comparing of the unknown protein with a proper standard
•Popular SDS-PAGE: cheap and easy with a 5-10% error
•SDS: sodium dodecyl sulfate, makes the proteins negatively charged and the overall charge of a protein is dependent on its mass.
![Page 25: -helix right-handed 3.6 aa per turn hydrogen bond N-H···O=C Collagen triple helix: three polypeptide intertwined A stereo, space-filling representation](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051516/56649e4c5503460f94b420d2/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Mass Determination
Mass spectrometry:
• Molecules are vaporized and ionized (by Xe/Ar beam), and the degree of deflection (mass-dependent) of the ions in an electromagnetic field is measured
• Extremely accurate (0.01% error), but expensive
• ESI (electrospray ionization) and MALDI (matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization) can measure the mass of proteins smaller than 100 KDa
• Helpful to detect post-translational modification
• Protein sequencing: relying on the protein data base
