What are proteins?
Proteins are macromolecules composed of amino acids linked together through peptide bonds.

The average nitrogen content in proteins is about 16%.
The protein quantity can be estimated.

Primary Structure The primary structure of proteins is def
ined as a linear sequence of amino acids joined together by peptide bonds.
Peptide bonds and disulfide bonds are responsible for maintaining the primary structure.
![Page 16: Chapter 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062804/56814c1c550346895db91c60/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Secondary Structure The secondary structure of a
protein is defined as a local spatial structure of a certain peptide segment, that is, the relative positions of backbone atoms of this peptide segment.
H-bonds are responsible for stabilizing the secondary structure.
![Page 17: Chapter 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062804/56814c1c550346895db91c60/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Repeating units of Ca-C(=O)-N(-H)-Ca constitute the backbone of peptide chain.
Six atoms, Ca-C(=O)-N(-H)-Ca, constitute a planer peptide unit.
![Page 18: Chapter 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062804/56814c1c550346895db91c60/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Motif
When several local peptides of defined secondary structures are close enough in space, they are able to form a particular structure---Motif.
Zinc finger
HLH (helix-loop-helix)HTH (helix-turn-helix)
![Page 22: Chapter 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062804/56814c1c550346895db91c60/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Tertiary Structure
The tertiary structure is defined as the three-dimensional arrangement of all atoms of a protein.
![Page 23: Chapter 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062804/56814c1c550346895db91c60/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Five types of interactions stabilize the protein tertiary structure. • hydrophobic interaction • ionic interaction • hydrogen bond • van der Waals interaction
• disulfide bond
![Page 24: Chapter 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062804/56814c1c550346895db91c60/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Domain
Large polypeptides may be organized into structurally close but functionally independent units---Domain
![Page 25: Chapter 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062804/56814c1c550346895db91c60/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Chaperon
Chaperones are large, multisubunit proteins that promote protein foldings
![Page 26: Chapter 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062804/56814c1c550346895db91c60/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Quaternary Structure
The quaternary structure is defined as the spatial arrangement of multiple subunits of a protein.These subunits are associated
through H-bonds, ionic interactions, and hydrophobic interactions.
![Page 27: Chapter 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062804/56814c1c550346895db91c60/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Section 3 Structure-Function Relationship of Proteins Relationship between primary structu
re and function Primary structure is the fundamental t
o the spatial structures and biological functions of proteins.
![Page 30: Chapter 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062804/56814c1c550346895db91c60/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Example
1. Proteins having similar amino acid sequences demonstrate the functional similarity.
2. The alternation of key AAs in a protein will cause the lose of its biological functions.
![Page 31: Chapter 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062804/56814c1c550346895db91c60/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Relationship between spatial structure and function
A particular spatial structure of a protein is strongly correlated with its specific biological functions.
![Page 32: Chapter 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062804/56814c1c550346895db91c60/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

3 Protein denaturation renaturation, precipitation and coagulation The process in which a protein loses
its native conformation under the treatment of denaturants is referred to as protein denaturation.
