Protein Structure 101 Alexey Onufriev, Virginia Tech

Proteins play key roles in a living system Three (out of many many) examples of protein functions –Catalysis: Almost all chemical reactions in a living cell are catalyzed by protein enzymes. –Transport: Some proteins transports various substances, such as oxygen, ions, and so on. –Information transfer: For example, hormones. Alcohol dehydrogenase oxidizes alcohols to aldehydes or ketones Myoglobin stores oxygen Insulin controls the amount of sugar in the blood

Basic structural units of proteins: Secondary structure α-helix β-sheet Secondary structures, α-helix and β-sheet, have regular hydrogen-bonding patterns.

Protein Structure in 3 steps. Sometimes, polypeptide chain forms helical structure:

Hydrogen Bonding Involves three atoms: –Donor electronegative atom (D) (Nitrogen or Oxygen in proteins) –Hydrogen bound to donor (H) –Acceptor electronegative atom (A) in close proximity D – HA

D-H Interaction Polarization due to electron withdrawal from the hydrogen to D giving D partial negative charge and the H a partial positive charge Proximity of the Acceptor A causes further charge separation Result: –Closer approach of A to H –Higher interaction energy than a simple van der Waals interaction D – HA δ-δ+δ-

Protein structure prediction has remained elusive over half a century “ Can we predict a protein structure from its amino acid sequence? ” Still virtually impossible at atomic level accuracy (but there are some notable exceptions). Possible in some cases if a rougher structure is acceptable.

So where do we get the high quality protein structures to work with? THE PDB (Protein Data Bank. ~30,000 structurs) PDB

Summary Proteins are key players in our living systems. Proteins are polymers consisting of 20 kinds of amino acids. Each protein folds into a unique three-dimensional structure defined by its amino acid sequence. Protein structure has a hierarchical nature. Protein structure is closely related to its function.
