I. Traditional Method for Classifying Organisms: Structure
and Function• Classification
– Kingdom– Phylum– Class– Order – Family– Genus– Species
• Traditional classification based upon traits:– structure– function (behavior)

II. Using biomolecular evidence to determine evolutionary
relationships.A. Biomolecules are the basis
of traits
• Traits represent organisms': - Structure - Function
• Proteins determine structure and function• DNA codes for proteins that confer traits

B. Biomolecular Differences
• Changes in DNA changes in protein, these changes result in:
- different functions- unique traits- positive (for survival),
negative (for selection), or no effects
• Genetic diversity provides pool for natural selection = evolution

Primary
Secondary
C. Levels of Protein Organization
1. Primary Structure -
Proteins begin as a straight chain of amino acids.
2. Secondary Structure -
The chains begin to bend and twist like a corkscrew or a flat folded sheet.
![Page 18: 1 Vertebrate Evolution: A look at biomolecular evidence using gel electrophoresis. Part 1: Introduction. Available online at](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649f115503460f94c247c2/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Tertiary
C. Levels of Protein Organization
3. Tertiary Structure -
The twisted chain folds even more and bonds form, holding the 3-dimensional shape.
4. Quaternary structure -
Several amino acid chains in the tertiary structure come together. This is a functional protein.

D. Comparing Protein Size
• Break protein complexes into individual protein chains (using chemicals)
• Denature proteins so they lose their shape and gain a charge (using detergent and heat)
• Separate proteins based on size (using gel electrophoresis)
2. How compare?

related and unrelated vertebrates to determine evolutionary relationships.
• Procedure:- Extract proteins from tissue- Denature proteins- Separate proteins by size using
polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE)- Stain proteins to see banding patterns- Analyze and interpret results

1. Prepare the Protein Samples• Put muscle in buffer which includes:
- SDS detergent (Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate) to solubilize and denature proteins and negative charge to proteins- Reductants (beta-mercaptoethanol, DTT) break disulfide bonds
• Heat muscle/buffer mixture to
denature proteins

Pig: arguably, most complex vertebrate (top right of cladogram)Myosin (210
kDa) = about 2000 am. acids
To make your vertebrate cladogram, compare each vertebrate to the pig by: 1. measuring distance protein bands traveled from wells,2. recording (to scale) on paper (IMPORTANT: relative position of bands),3. counting number of proteins each vertebrate has in common with pig*.
Measure and record distances in mm
* Do bands line up?
