  1. Help Memorizing Amino Acids General rule, side chains have a maximum of four C atoms, with other structures attached onto up to 4 carbon atoms.

  3. H H O H N C C H H O H H O R1 N C C N C C OH R2 R3 Protein Structure & Function polypeptide protein Linear sequence  3D shape  Function

  4. Four Levels of Protein Structure Primary (1°) structure: Linear sequence of amino acids Secondary (2°) structure: Spatial arrangement of AAs nearby in the sequence Tertiary (3°) structure: Spatial arrangement of AAs far apart in the sequence Quaternary (4°) structure: Spatial arrangement of multiple polypeptide chains (referred to as “subunits”)

  5. Type Function Example Enzymes Catalysts Amylase – CH digestion Hormones Regulation Insulin – glucose  E Storage Bioreserve Myoglobin – O2 in muscles Transport Transport substances Serum albumin – Carries fatty acids Structural Provide shape Collagen – tendons, cartilage Protective Body’s defense Immunoglobulin – destroys Invaders, e.g. bacteria Contractile Work/motion Myosin/actin – muscle movement

  7. H H O H H O H N C C OH H N C C OH CH2CHCH3 CH2CH2SCH3 CH3 H H O H N C C OH H2C CH2 CH2 Nonpolar Isoleucine, I Is the isomer of Leucine, different attachment Methionine, M Thio is sulfur so methyl thionine CH3 Eliminate this CH3 - Proline, P Looks like letter P on its side, Use your imagination

  8. H H O H H O H N C C OH H N C C OH CH2 CH2 N H Nonpolar Phenylalanine, F phenyl- Is used when benzene is attached to Ala. Tryptophan, W Can make a W outline out of cyclical rings (already used “P” for Proline) (Three “T”s)
