  27. PROTEINS – CLASSES AND FUNCTIONS dynamic catalysis enzymes transport hemoglobin protection antibodies muscle contraction actin and myosin metabolic control hormones gene transcription histones storage ferritin structural matrices for bone collagen and elastin and connective tissue

  28. PROTEINS proteins are polymers of 20 different -amino acids, known as the common amino acids, which have a specific codon in the DNA genetic code properties of 20 genetically coded amino acids -amino group – except proline, which has an imino group -carboxyl group unique R side chain and a hydrogen bound at the central  carbon possess at least one asymmetric carbon (L form) except glycine H HOOC – C – NH2 R

  29. PROTEINS at neutral pH, the amino and carboxyl groups are ionized, and the amino acids thus exist as zwitterions proteins are produced by enzymatic polymerization of the 20 common amino acids, connected by peptide bonds formed by dehydration

  30. AMINO ACIDS – ALIPHATIC

  31. AMINO ACIDS – POLAR

  32. AMINO ACIDS – AROMATIC

  33. AMINO ACIDS – SULFUR OR SELENIUM H

  34. AMINO ACIDS – SECONDARY AMINE

  35. AMINO ACIDS – CHARGED

  36. PROTEINS proteins are produced by enzymatic polymerization of the 20 common amino acids, connected by peptide bonds formed by dehydration the specific sequence of amino acids in the polypeptide chain is called the primary structure of the protein and is determined from the genetic information

  37. PROTEINS apoprotein – amino acids only cofactors – small organic (e.g., vitamins, ATP, NAD, FAD) or inorganic molecules (particularly metal ions) that are required for activity; can be loosely bound (coenzymes) or tightly bound (prosthetic groups) prosthetic group – tightly bound group (e.g., heme) to apoprotein holoprotein – active protein with cofactors and prosthetic groups attached

  38. COFACTORS may participate directly in catalytic processes or carry other small molecules; binding to proteins may be weak or strong are required in small quantities, may have to be supplied in diet and are either water or fat soluble functions metal ions maintain protein conformation through electrostatic interactions prosthetic groups like heme may bind to active site and change the conformation to control bonding may accept a substrate during reaction

  39. METAL LIGATION metal ions are bound in mononuclear or polynuclear coordination units in which amino acid side chains function as endogenous multidentate chelating ligands (protein) often protein ligation does not coordinately saturate metals – catalysis common bridging ligands O2-, OH-, -CH2S-, S2-, -CH2CO2-, imidazole exogenous terminal ligands are also often bound to metals H2O, OH-, O2-, HS-, S2-

  40. ENDOGENOUS METAL LIGATION Protein residues as ligands for metal ions Oxygen atoms of peptide carbonyls, nitrogen atoms of deprotonated backbone amides, and lysine side chains are also available for metal coordination.

  43. PROTEINS apoprotein – amino acids only cofactors – small organic (e.g., vitamins, ATP, NAD, FAD) or inorganic molecules (particularly metal ions) that are required for activity; can be loosely bound (coenzymes) or tightly bound (prosthetic groups) prosthetic group – tightly bound group (e.g., heme) to apoprotein holoprotein – active protein with cofactors and prosthetic groups attached

  44. PROSTHETIC GROUPS biosynthesized groups that may participate directly in catalytic processes or carry other small molecules; binding to proteins is strong functions bind metal cations tightly may accept a substrate may participate in electron transfer may bind to active site and change the conformation to control bonding

  45. MACROCYCLIC LIGANDS tetrapyrroles most common, best known bioinorganic compounds study of structure/function and organic synthesis of these complexes led to several Nobel prizes 1915 – Willstätter (extraction of pigments, relationship between chlorophyll and heme) 1930 – Fischer (formula of heme and chlorophyll, first synthesis of tetrapyrroles) 1962 – Kendrew & Perutz (X-ray structure of hemoglobin and myoglobin) 1964 – Crowfoot Hodgkin (X-ray structure of vitamin B12) 1965 – Woodward (total synthesis of vitamin B12 and chlorophyll) 1988 – Deisenhofer, Huber, & Michel (X-ray structure of photosynthetic reaction centers containing heme and chlorophyll in bacteria)

  46. TETRAPYRROLES partially unsaturated, tetradentate, macrocyclic ligands stable, rigid, planar or nearly planar ring system deprotonated forms bind metal ions tightly and size selectively extensive conjugation leads to very intense colors (pigments of life) and potentially to redox activity
