1 Chapter 19 Amino Acids and Proteins
19.1 Proteins and Amino Acids Classify proteins by their functions in the body. Give the name and abbreviation of an amino acid and draw its ionized structure.

2 Functions of Proteins Function of protein p Proteins perform many different functions in the body.

3 Amino Acids Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins
contain a carboxylic acid group and an amino group on the alpha () carbon are ionized in solution each contain a different side group (R)

4 Examples of Amino Acids

5 Types of Amino Acids Amino acids are classified as
nonpolar with hydrocarbon side chains (hydrophobic) polar (neutral) with polar or ionic side chains (hydrophilic) polar (acidic) with acidic side chains (hydrophilic) polar (basic) with –NH2 side chains (hydrophilic) Nonpolar Polar (neutral) Acidic Basic

6 Nonpolar Amino Acids A nonpolar amino acid has an R group that is H, an alkyl group, or aromatic.

7 Polar (Neutral) Amino Acids
A polar amino acid has an R group that is an alcohol, thiol, or amide.

8 Polar (Acidic) and Polar (Basic) Amino Acids
An amino acid is acidic with a carboxyl R group (COO–) basic with an amino R group (NH3+)

9 Learning Check Identify each of the following as a polar (P) or nonpolar (NP) amino acid.

10 Solution Identify each of the following as a polar (P) or nonpolar (NP) amino acid. Nonpolar (NP) Polar (P)

11 Chapter 19 Amino Acids and Proteins
19.2 Amino Acids as Zwitterions Draw the zwitterion of an amino acid at its isoelectric point and its ionized structure at pH values above or below its isoelectric point.

12 Zwitterions and Isoelectric Points
A zwitterion has an equal number of —NH3+ and COO– groups forms when the H from —COOH in an amino acid transfers to the —NH2

13 Isoelectric Point (pI)
The isoelectric points (pI) are the pH at which zwitterions have an overall zero charge of nonpolar and polar (neutral) amino acids exist at pH values from 5.1 to 6.3

14 Zwitterions in Acidic Solutions
In solutions that are more acidic than the pI, the COO– in the zwitterion accepts a proton the amino acid has a positive charge Glycine, with a pI of 6.0, has a 1+ charge in solutions that have a pH below pH 6.0.

15 Zwitterions in Basic Solutions
In solutions that are more basic than the pI, the NH3+ in the zwitterion loses a proton the amino acid has a negative charge Glycine, with a pI of 6.0, has a 1– charge in solutions that have a pH above pH 6.0.

16 pI, pH, and Charge

17 Summary of pH, pI, and Ionization

18 Ionized Forms of Polar (Acidic) and Polar (Basic) Amino Acids
also ionize the —COO and —NH3+ in their polar R groups Zwitterions of polar (acidic) amino acids exist at pH values from 2.8 to 3.2. Zwitterions of polar (basic) amino acids exist at pH values from 7.6 to 10.8.

19 Zwitterions of Aspartic Acid
Aspartic acid, a polar (acidic) amino acid, has a pI of 2.8 forms a zwitterion at pH 2.8 forms negative ions with charges 1– and 2– at pH values greater than pH 2.8

20 Electrophoresis: Separation of Amino Acids
In electrophoresis, an electric current is used to separate a mixture of amino acids, and the positively charged amino acids move toward the negative electrode the negatively charged amino acids move toward the positive electrode an amino acid at its pI does not migrate the amino acids are identified as separate bands on the filter paper or thin layer plate

21 Electrophoresis With an electric current, a mixture of lysine, aspartate, and valine are separated.

35 Secondary Structure: Alpha Helix
The secondary structures of proteins indicate the three-dimensional spatial arrangements of the polypeptide chains. An alpha helix (α-helix) has a coiled shape held in place by hydrogen bonds between the amide groups and the carbonyl groups of the amino acids along the chain hydrogen bonds between the H of an —NH group and the O of C═O of the fourth amino acid down the chain

36 Secondary Structure: Alpha Helix (continued)

37 Secondary Structure: Beta-Pleated Sheet
A beta-pleated sheet (β-pleated sheet) is a secondary structure that consists of polypeptide chains arranged side by side has hydrogen bonds between chains has R groups above and below the sheet is typical of fibrous proteins such as silk

19.6 Protein Hydrolysis and Denaturation Describe the hydrolysis and denaturation of proteins.

59 Protein Hydrolysis Protein hydrolysis
splits the peptide bonds to give smaller peptides and amino acids occurs in the digestion of proteins occurs in cells when amino acids are needed to synthesize new proteins and repair tissues

60 Hydrolysis of a Dipeptide
In the lab, the hydrolysis of a peptide requires acid or base, water, and heat. In the body, enzymes catalyze the hydrolysis of proteins.

61 Denaturation Denaturation involves
the disruption of bonds in the secondary, tertiary, and quaternary protein structures heat and organic compounds that break apart H bonds and disrupt hydrophobic interactions acids and bases that break H bonds between polar R groups and disrupt ionic bonds heavy metal ions that react with S—S bonds to form solids agitation, such as whipping, that stretches peptide chains until bonds break

62 Applications of Denaturation
