-sheet • 2 peptide backbones • Very open configuration • "Pleated" • Parallel and antiparallel
Tertiary Structure • Thermodynamically most stable form • Held together by • Hydrophobic interactions • Electrostatic interactions • -S-S- bonds • Can include non-protein groups • Prosthetic groups or co-enzymes • Determined by x-ray crystalography
Types of Tertiary Structures • Fibrous proteins • Silk • Keratin • Collagen • Globular proteins
Carbohydrates (saccharides)
Monosaccharides • Polyhydroxy aldehydes or ketones • Aldoses—aldehyde on end • Ketoses—ketone in chain
Monosaccharides, con't. • Named by number of carbons • Trioses • Tetroses • Pentoses • Hexoses • Heptoses
Glucose • 4 chiral carbons • "D" configuration • Fischer projection
Types • Storage • Starch • Glycogen • Structural • Cellulose • Chitin • Extracellular matrix
Storage • Glucose in (14) linkages • Amylose—10-30% • unbranched • Amylopectin—70-90% • Branched every 12-25 residues • (16) linkages • Glycogen • Branched every 8-12 residues
Structural • Cellulose • Glucose • (14) linkages • No branches • Most abundant macromolecule
Structural, con't. • Chitin • N-acetyl glucosamine • Second most abundant macromolecule • Bacterial cell wall • peptidoglycan
