Quarternary stucture

2 or more polypeptide chains held in a multi

Denaturation

Proteome

Unique set of proteins coded by genome

• varies because diff cells make diff proteins and depends on cell activity

gel electrophoresis

Process to separate proteins

Divisions of protein

globular & fibrous

Determinant of divisions of protein

solubility in water

Globular proteins

Complex polypeptide chains linked to other chains, soluble in water cause hydrophobic R groups fold into the core away from surrounding water

Role of Globular proteins

active in cell metabolism

Fibrous proteins

Long polypeptide chains with hydrophobic R groups exposed therefore insoluble in water

Role of fibrous proteins

structural parts: tendons, skin, collages, keratin

Rubisco

• globular enzyme

• active site catalyzing photosynthesis reaction that fixes CO2 from atmosphere

Insulin

• globular, hormone, 2 diff polupeptide chains

• produced by pancreas

• carried, dissolved in blood

• binds specifically & reversibly to insulin receptors causing absorption pf glucose to lower blood glucose conc

Immunoglobulin

Globular, Y shaped, antibodies to fight infections by recognizing and binding to antigen molecules

Rhodopsin

• globular, pigment protein

• retina rod cells become light-sensitive to serve a nerve impulse

Collagen

Fibrous, 3 diff polypeptide chains. structural protein, in muscles, tendons, ligaments to give tensile strength. In skin & bones to prevent tearing & fractures

Spider silk

Fibrous, structural protein, produced by spiders for webs, can be extended & resistant to breaking

Ways to denature proteins

higher temperatures, extreme pH of surrounding solution

3 properties of enzymes

substrate specific, optimum pH, optimum temperature

Why primary structures are not affected by denatueation

peptide bonds holding adjacent amino acids do not break

Reason for high fever danger

Some proteins start to denature, enzymes no longer function

Effect of temperature change on amino acids

Interaction between amino acids changed, affecting quaternary, tertiary & secondary

Effect of pH on amino acids

strong solutions can break bonds between non adjacent amino acids or between polypeptide chains

Coagulation: Structure when denatured

Hydrophilic attracts water molecules, hydrophobic portions unstable therefore associates with other hydrophobic molecules

Enzyme role

control metabolism of cell

• globular protein

Define Enzyme

biocatalyst that regulates the role of biochemical reactions without taking part

How is enzyme a catalyst

lowers minimum activation energy needed for reactants to react

Location of enzyme & substrate reactions

watery environment

Active site

location where substrate binds to enzyme to react

State of enzyme after reaction

unchanged & used again

Enzyme structure

large polypeptides with tertiary or quaternary structure, globular with specific active site

Induced fit

Once substrate binds to active site and during transition stage, enzyme changes slightly resulting in tighter binding

Role of induced fit

enzyme induces bond weakening within molecules thus reducing activation energy needed

Enzymatic reaction

1. attraction of substrate to enzyme (diff shapes)

2. conformational change reaction of substrate-enzyme complex

3. enzyme revers to original shape and products leave reaction

Active site structure

sequence of amino acids responsible for catalytic activity

Activation energy

minimum energy that reacting particles should possess for a reaction to make products

Collision theory

1. particles must collide to react together

2. need sufficient energy to break & form bonds

3. orientation (opposite charge molecules)

Exothermic or exergonic reation

product formation releases energy

Endothermic or endergonic

product formation associated with energy absorption (usually heat)

Causes of structural changes to active site

1. temperature

2. pH

3. Substrate concentration

4. Enzyme concentration

Effect of temperature on collision theory

• Low temp = slowly, collision low

• High temp = rapid, collision high, denature

Low Substrate concentration

• more substrate than enzyme

• low rate of reaction

High substrate concentration

• more collision chances

• rate of enzymatic reaction rises gradually

• increase halted when active sites occupied

Graph structure of optimal temperature & pH

• increases due to more collisions of heat

• peak reached

• drops due to denature of heat and pH

• increase, peak and drop with pH

Graph structure of substrate/enzyme concentration

1. increases because more collisions between substrate and active site

2. plateau phase because most active sites are occupied

Immbolisation of enzyme

process of attaching enzyme to a material to restrict movement

Permit of immboilisation of enzyme

• not present in final product

• doesn't restrict conc

• avoid adverse effects to human consumption

• higher conc of enzymes

• faster rate of reaction

• immediate separation from reaction mixture

• recycled

How to increase pH as dependent variable

• increase rate of reaction!

• increase enzyme conc

• increase temp

• longer time

Value of V(velocity) at start of reaction

Minimum since active sites are free

Amino acids

carbon center. monomers of proteins

Cell theory

1. All living organisms are composed of one or more cells.

2. The cell is the basic unit of structure and organization in organisms

3. Cells arise from pre-existing cells.
