Proteins • Proteins many have functions: • 1. Structure: collagen and keratin are the chief constituents of skin, bone, hair, and nails. • 2. Catalysts: virtually all reactions in living systems are catalyzed by • proteins called enzymes. • 3. Movement: muscles are made up of proteins called myosin and actin. • 4. Transport: Transport hemoglobin transports oxygen from the lungs to cells; other proteins transport molecules across cell membranes. • 5. Hormones: many hormones are proteins, among them insulin, • oxytocin, and human growth hormone.

Proteins 6. Protection: blood clotting involves the protein fibrinogen; the body used proteins called antibodies to fight disease. 7. Storage: casein in milk and ovalbumin in eggs store nutrients for newborn infants and birds; ferritin, a protein in the liver, stores iron. 8. Regulation: certain proteins not only control the expression of genes, but also control when gene expression takes place. Proteins are divided into two types: 1. fibrous proteins (e. g. collagen, keratin) 2. globular proteins (e. g. Hemoglobin)

Ionization vs p. H • The net charge on an amino acid depends on the p. H of the solution in which it is dissolved. • If we dissolve an amino acid in water, it is present in the aqueous solution as its zwitterion. • to summarize:

Levels of Structure • Primary structure: the sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain; read from the N-terminal amino acid to the C-terminal amino acid. • Secondary structure: conformations of amino acids in localized regions of a polypeptide chain; examples are -helix, b-pleated sheet, and random coil. • Tertiary structure: the complete three-dimensional arrangement of atoms of a polypeptide chain. • Quaternary structure: the spatial relationship and interactions between subunits in a protein that has more than one polypeptide chain. » See Hemoglobin next slide. . .
