Protein Functions
• Three examples of protein functions
– Catalysis:Almost all chemical reactions in a living cell are catalyzed by protein enzymes.
– Transport:Some proteins transports various substances, such as oxygen, ions, and so on.
– Information transfer:For example, hormones.
Alcohol dehydrogenase oxidizes alcohols to aldehydes or ketones
Haemoglobin carries oxygen
Insulin controls the amount of sugar in the blood

Protein Assembly
• occurs at the ribosome • involves polymerization of
amino acids attached to tRNA
• yields primary structure
![Page 8: Protein Structure. Protein Functions Three examples of protein functions – Catalysis: Almost all chemical reactions in a living cell are catalyzed by](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d8a5503460f94a711c7/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Primary Structure
• linear• ordered• 1 dimensional• sequence of amino acid
polymer• by convention, written
from amino end to carboxyl end
• a perfectly linear amino acid polymer is neither functional nor energetically favorable folding!

Protein Folding
• yields secondary structure• occurs in the cytosol• involves localized spatial
interaction among primary structure elements, i.e. the amino acids

Secondary Structure
• non-linear• 3 dimensional• localized to regions of an amino
acid chain• formed and stabilized by
hydrogen bonding, electrostatic and van der Waals interactions

Secondary structure
α-helix β-sheet
Secondary structures, α-helix and β-sheet, have regular
hydrogen-bonding patterns.

• involves interaction between secondary structure elements and solvent
• yields tertiary structure

Protein Interaction
• occurs in the cytosol, in close proximity to other folded and packed proteins
• involves interaction among tertiary structure elements of separate polymer chains

Class/Motif
• class = secondary structure composition,e.g. all , all , / , +
• motif = small, specific combinations of secondary structure elements,
e.g. -- loop• both subset of fold
/

Fold
• fold = architecture = the overall shape and orientation of the secondary structures, ignoring connectivity between the structures,e.g. / barrel, TIM barrel
• subset of fold families/superfamilies
![Page 19: Protein Structure. Protein Functions Three examples of protein functions – Catalysis: Almost all chemical reactions in a living cell are catalyzed by](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d8a5503460f94a711c7/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Fold families/Superfamilies
• fold families = categorization that takes into account topology and previous subsets as well as empirical/biological properties, e.g. flavodoxin
• superfamilies = in addition to fold families, includes evolutionary/ancestral properties
CLASS: +FOLD: sandwich
FOLD FAMILY: flavodoxin

Protein structure prediction has remained Protein structure prediction has remained elusive over half a centuryelusive over half a century
“Can we predict a protein structure from its amino acid sequence?”
Now, impossible!

Summary
• Proteins are key players in our living systems.• Proteins are polymers consisting of 20 kinds of amino acids.• Each protein folds into a unique three-dimensional structure
defined by its amino acid sequence.• Protein structure has a hierarchical nature.• Protein structure is closely related to its function.• Protein structure prediction is a grand challenge of
computational biology.
