• What do gelatin desserts, hair, antibodies, spider webs, blood clots, egg whites, tofu, and fingernails all have in common? They are all made of protein.
Where do we find proteins?

Proteins
• genetic information in DNA codes specifically for the production of proteins
• 50% of the dry mass of most cells
• As with carbohydrates and lipids, their three-dimensional structure is directly related to their function
• enzymes are proteins

Proteins: Basic Characteristics
• Proteins are amino acid polymers• central carbon atom surrounded by
an amino group, a carboxyl group, a hydrogen atom, and a variable group of atoms called a side chain, usually symbolized by the letter ‘R’. Remember that carboxyl and amino groups are functional groups.
• There are 20 different R groups commonly found in living organisms and, so there are 20 different amino acids.
General structure of an amino acid
![Page 5: 1 Amino Acids and Proteins Biology 12 E. McIntyre](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649f055503460f94c1a5ec/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

• There are 20 amino acids.
• Note all are the same except for the side chains

• Amino acids are amphiprotic (which means that they possess both acidic (carboxyl) and basic (amino) functional groups.)
• When dissolved in water, the carboxyl group donates an H ion to the amino group, causing the carboxyl group to become negatively charged and the amino group to possess an extra hydrogen and a net positive charge.
Amino acids: General Properties

• Amino acids may be polar (hydrophilic), nonpolar (hydrophobic), or charged (acidic or basic)
• Acidic amino acids possess a carboxyl group on their side chains, and basic amino acids contain amino groups on their side chains.
• These characteristics are determined by an amino acid’s side chain.

Amino Acids as Acids and Bases
• Ionization of the –NH2 (amino) and the –COOH (carboxyl) group
• An amphiprotic molecule has both a + and – charge
• An amphiprotic molecule is neutral overall
Zwitterion of alanine
In water, an amino acid loses a H+ ion from the carboxyl group and
donates it to the amino group.

Stop & Think
• Remember that carboxyl and amino groups are functional groups.
• Think: What are functional groups?
• How are polymers of amino acids made?
![Page 18: 1 Amino Acids and Proteins Biology 12 E. McIntyre](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649f055503460f94c1a5ec/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Solution to Stop & Think
• Carboxyl groups and amino groups react together to link amino acids.
