LEARNING OUTCOMES Describe the structure of proteins, including the significance of amino
acid R-groups and their impact on the three-dimensional structure of proteins.
Explain the steps of transcription and translation in protein synthesis. Discuss the role of naturally occurring proteins and recombinant
proteins in biotechnology. Differentiate proteins that function as part of structure, as antibodies,
and as enzymes. Describe the structure of antibodies and explain the relationship
between antibodies and antigens. Discriminate among the classes of enzymes and discuss the effect of
reaction conditions on enzyme activity. Summarize polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and identify its
usefulness for studying proteins.

THE IMPORTANCE OF PROTEINS IN
BIOTECHNOLOGYThe ability to synthesize and modify peptides
or proteins is crucial to the production of virtually every biotechnology product Food processing – the creamy in ice creamTextile and leather goods – bio-bleachesDetergents – enzymes to dissolve stainsPaper manufacturing and recycling – reduce
negative environmental impactsAdhesives – barnacles and musselsBioremediation – proteins used to clean up
harmful waste

PROTEINS AS BIOTECH PRODUCTS
Therapeutic Protein• used to treat a disease that is caused by a
gene that fails to produce a necessary protein or that produces a dysfunctional protein

Protein Synthesis in a Eukaryotic Cell. In a eukaryotic cell, DNA is located within chromosomes in the nucleus. The mRNA transcripts carry the DNA code out to the ribosomes, which translate the code into a strand of amino acids.

Anticodon of tRNA carrying next amino acid binds to codon on mRNA
A peptide bond joins the amino acids and the first tRNA is released.

TRANSLATION TERMINATION Amino acid chain continues until a stop
codon is read. The amino acid chain is released and all of the translation machinery is recycled to translate another protein.

PROTEIN STRUCTURE Once the amino acid
chain is released from the ribosome, a number of modifications are made in order for the protein to perform it’s intended function.
The protein must fold into it’s appropriate 3-dimensional shape.
![Page 32: C HAPTER 5: I NTRODUCTION TO S TUDYING P ROTEIN Introduction to Biotechnology, BIOL1414 Austin Community College, Biotechnology Dept](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110403/56649e7e5503460f94b80cf7/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Proper folding of the protein is essential for it’s activity because it must bind it’s substrate to perform it’s job.

PROTEIN STRUCTURE Another group of
proteins, the antibodies is structurally interesting and functionally very importantThe function of an
antibody is to recognize and bind foreign proteins or other molecules called antigens, for removal
Each type of antibody has the same basic shape

ANTIBODIES - APPLICATION Most antibodies are very specific and
bind to distinct regions of molecules called epitopes
In the lab, antibodies can be used to bind certain molecules under study, or for diagnosisA common test used to determine the
presence of a protein in solution is the ELISA – Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay

Vertical Gel Electrophoresis. Although vertical gel boxes vary from one manufacturer to another, all are basically of the same design. The gel cassettes are snapped or screwed in place (right). Running buffer is added behind the gel, covering the wells. Buffer is poured in the front of the gel cassette to cover the front opening. When the top is placed on the box (left) and the power is turned on, electricity flows from the top (negative charge) to bottom (positive charge). Negatively charged samples move down the gel toward the positive electrode.
