CHAPTER 3 Amino Acids, Peptides, Proteins Structure and naming of amino acids Structure and properties of peptides Ionization behavior of amino acids and peptides Purification and assay methods Peptide sequencing and chemical synthesis Protein sequence analysis

Proteins: Main Agents of Biological Function Catalysis: –enolase (in the glycolytic pathway) –DNA polymerase (in DNA replication) Transport: –hemoglobin (transports O 2 in the blood) –lactose permease (transports lactose across the cell membrane) Structure: –collagen (connective tissue) –keratin (hair, nails, feathers, horns) Motion: –myosin (muscle tissue) –actin (muscle tissue, cell motility)

Amino Acids: Building Blocks of Protein Proteins are heteropolymers of  -amino acids Amino acids have properties that are well suited to carry out a variety of biological functions: –Capacity to polymerize –Useful acid-base properties –Varied physical properties –Varied chemical functionality

Amino Acids: Atom Naming Organic nomenclature: start from one end Biochemical designation: start from  -carbon and go down the R-group

Most  -Amino Acids are Chiral The  -carbon has always four substituents and is tetrahedral All (except proline) have an acidic carboxyl group, a basic amino group, and an alpha hydrogen connected to the  -carbon Each amino acid has an unique fourth substituent R In glycine, the fourth substituent is also hydrogen

Amino Acids: Classification Common amino acids can be placed in five basic groups depending on their R substituents: Nonpolar, aliphatic (7) Aromatic (3) Polar, uncharged (5) Positively charged (3) Negatively charged (2)

Aliphatic Amino Acids

Aromatic Amino Acids

Charged Amino Acids

Polar Amino Acids

Special Amino Acids

Not incorporated by ribosomes Arise by post-translational modifications of proteins Reversible modifications, esp. phosphorylation is important in regulation and signaling Uncommon Amino Acids in Proteins

The Genetic Code is organized by Amino Acid Properties

Ionization At acidic pH, the carboxyl group is protonated and the amino acid is in the cationic form At neutral pH, the carboxyl group is deprotonated but the amino group is protonated. The net charge is zero; such ions are called Zwitterions At alkaline pH, the amino group is neutral –NH 2 and the amino acid is in the anionic form.

Substituent effects on pK a Values  -carboxy group is much more acidic than in carboxylic acids  -amino group is slightly less basic than in amines

Amino Acids Can Act as Buffers Amino acids with uncharged side-chains, such as glycine, have two pK a values: The pK a of the  -carboxyl group is 2.34 The pK a of the  -amino group is 9.6 It can act as a buffer in two pH regimes.

Amino Acids Carry a Net Charge of Zero at a Specific pH Zwitterions predominate at pH values between the pK a values of amino and carboxyl group For amino acid without ionizable side chains, the Isoelectric Point (equivalence point, pI) is At this point, the net charge is zero – AA is least soluble in water – AA does not migrate in electric field

Ionizable Side Chains Can Show Up in Titration Curves Ionizable side chains can be also titrated Titration curves are now more complex pK a values are discernable if two pK a values are more than two pH units apart Why is the side-chain pK a so much higher?

How to Calculate the pI When the Side-chain is Ionizable? Identify species that carries a net zero charge Identify pK a value that defines the acid strength of this zwitterion: (pK 2 ) Identify pK a value that defines the base strength of this zwitterion: (pK R) Take the average of these two pK a values

Peptides and Peptide bonds Peptide bond in a di-peptide “Peptides” are small condensation products of amino acids They are “small” compared to proteins (di, tri, tetra… oligo-)

Peptide Ends are Not the Same Numbering starts from the amino terminus AA 1 AA 2 AA 3 AA 4 AA 5

The Three Letter Code Naming starts from the N-terminus Sequence is written as: Ala-Glu-Gly-Lys Sometimes the one- letter code is used: AEGK

Peptides: A Variety of Functions Hormones and pheromones: – insulin (think sugar) – oxytocin (think childbirth) – sex-peptide (think fruit fly mating) Neuropeptides – substance P (pain mediator) Antibiotics: – polymyxin B (for Gram - bacteria) – bacitracin (for Gram + bacteria) Protection, e.g. toxins – amanitin (mushrooms) – conotoxin (cone snails) – chlorotoxin (scorpions)

Proteins are: Cofactor is a general term for functional non-amino acid component – Metal ions or organic molecules Coenzyme is used to designate an organic cofactors – NAD + in lactate dehydrogenase Prosthetic groups are covalently attached cofactors – Heme in myoglobin Polypeptides ( covalently linked  -amino acids ) + possibly – cofactors, coenzymes, prosthetic groups, other modifications

Polypeptide Size in Some Proteins

Classes of Conjugated Proteins

Peptides and Proteins- Burning Questions Sequence and composition? Three-dimensional structure? Folding Mechanism? Biochemical role? Functional regulation? Molecular interactions with small and macro-molecules? Structural and sequence relatives? Cellular and sub-cellular localization? Physical and chemical properties?

Purification – Fractionation of Protein Mixtures Separation relies on differences in physico- chemical properties –Solubility – Selective Precipitation (Centrifugation) –Thermal stability -- –Charge --Electrophoresis, Isoelectric Focusing, IEC –Size – Dialysis, Sedimentation (Centrifugation), GFC –Affinity for a ligand – “Pull down” assays (Centrifugation), AC –Hydrophobicity (HIC) Chromatography is commonly used for preparative separation

Protein Fractionation

Separation by Charge Ion Exchange Chromatography Anion exchange Matrix positive Proteins negative Displaced by anions Cation exchange – Opposite pH determines net charge on Proteins Salt concentration gradient Native gel electrophoresis Iso-electric Focusing

Separation by Size Size exclusion (Gel Filtration) Chromatography – Loading vol. <5% of column volume –Samples diluted Dialysis or Centrifugal concentrators

Separation by Affinity Affinity Chromatography Free Ligand-Beads -- centrifugation Ligand-Magnetic- Beads Immuno-assays on solid supports

Electrophoresis for Protein Analysis Separation in analytical scale is commonly done by electrophoresis –Electric field pulls proteins according to their charge –Gel matrix hinders mobility of proteins according to their size and shape

SDS PAGE: Molecular Weight SDS – sodium dodecyl sulfate – a detergent SDS micelles binds to, and unfold all the proteins –SDS gives all proteins an uniformly negative charge –The native shape of proteins does not matter –Rate of movement will only depend on size: small proteins will move faster

Protein Sequencing

Spectroscopic Detection of Aromatic Amino Acids The aromatic amino acids absorb light in the UV region Proteins typically have UV absorbance maxima around nm Tryptophan and tyrosine are the strongest chromophores Concentration can be determined by UV-visible spectrophotometry using Beers law: A =  ·c·l

Chapter 3: Summary In this chapter, we learned about: The many biological functions of peptides and proteins The structures and names of amino acids found in proteins The ionization properties of amino acids and peptides The methods for separation and analysis of proteins

Nonpolar, Aliphatic R Groups

Aromatic R Groups Also Hydrophobic These amino acid side chains absorb UV light at nm

Polar, Uncharged R Groups These amino acids side chains can form hydrogen bonding Cysteine can form disulfide bonds

Basic R Groups

Acidic R Groups
