Other Properties of Amino Acids

• Stereochemistry (all biosynthetic proteins made up of L-isomer)

• Hydropathy (partitioning between polar and nonpolar solvents as indicator of polarity) (see Table 6-2 in VVP p 150)

these two properties are major determinants of peptide conformation

Globular Protein 3o Structure

2o structural elements (helices, sheets, turns…) pack together to give a folded protein or subunit. This so-called “tertiary” structure is stabilized by non-covalent interactions, the hydrophobic effect and disulfides. Within the 3o structure are “motifs” and “domains”.

The 3o structure can be derived from one or more domains.

H-bond Fun Fact

• 1984 survey of protein crystal data shows that “almost all groups capable of forming H-bonds do so.” (mainchain amides, polar sidechains)
