Amino Acids - Summary

• Zwitterions• Acid / Base Chemistry (Buffers)• Optical Isomerism – chiral centre, CORN• Peptide – Secondary Amides• Naming dipeptides – NH2 on left• Hydrolysis of peptides• Condensation to form polypeptides and

proteins

Protein Structure

4 levels of structure:-oPrimary Structure – Sequence of Amino Acids;

oSecondary Structure – Spatial arrangement of sections of primary Structure (e.g. helices);

oTertiary Structure – Overall 3D Shape of protein;

oQuaternary Structure – Protein “Monomers” coordinated into tetramers (haemoglobin), or hexamers (insulin).

Building Proteins

Cells build proteins directly from L-Amino Acids.

To synthesise a protein, a Chemist would need:-

1) Instructions / knowledge of the primary structure;2) Supplies of pure amino acids;3) A method of forming peptide links.

Cells adopt a similar approach – Protein Synthesis.

Protein synthesis – The role of RNA

1) Messenger RNA - Temporary set of instructions for one protein molecule;

2) Transfer RNA – collects amino acids;

3) Ribosomal RNA – present in ribosomes, which catalyse the formation of peptide links between amino acids.

1) Messenger RNA (mRNA)

2) Transfer RNA (tRNA)

3) Ribosomal RNA (rRNA)

A Permanent set of Instructions

DNA

Page 23: Engineering Proteins EP2 Protein Synthesis. Amino Acids.

DNA – deoxyribonucleic acid

1) Codes for many mRNA molecules.

2) The section of DNA coding for a particular protein is called a gene.

3) Full set of genes = genome (humans 3.5 x 109 bases)

Transcription

Page 30: Engineering Proteins EP2 Protein Synthesis. Amino Acids.

Transcription – in the nucleus

1) DNA double helix unwinds;

2) hydrogen bonds break;

3) free nucleotides hydrogen bond to the complementary exposed bases;

4) Enzyme (RNA polymerase) links the hydrogen bonded nucleotides to form a strand of mRNA;

5) mRNA is released and the DNA double helix is reformed.

Amino Acid Activation

Page 33: Engineering Proteins EP2 Protein Synthesis. Amino Acids.

Amino Acid Activation

1. tRNA molecule forms an ester link with a specific amino acid;

2. tRNA – amino acid complex moves to the Ribosome.

Page 34: Engineering Proteins EP2 Protein Synthesis. Amino Acids.

Translation (ppt)

Page 35: Engineering Proteins EP2 Protein Synthesis. Amino Acids.

Translation - in the cytoplasm

1) mRNA attaches to ribosome;2) Hydrogen bonding between complementary bases

binds the correct tRNA anticodon to the 1st codon (set of 3 bases on mRNA);

3) A 2nd tRNA – amino acid complex binds to the adjacent mRNA codon in the ribosome;

4) Ribosome catalyses the formation of the peptide bond between amino acids;

5) The tRNA is released once the amino acid is delivered;

6) Ribosome moves along the mRNA chain to the end.
