Proteins are linear polymers that fold up by themselves…mostly.

The amino acidsThey can be grouped by properties in many ways according to the chemical and physical properties (e.g. size) of the side chain.
Here is one grouping based on chemical properties:
•Basic: proton acceptors•Acidic: proton donors•Uncharged polar: have polar groups like CONH2 or CH2OH•Nonpolar: tend to be hydrophobic•Weird: proline links to the N in the main chain•Strong: Cysteine can make “disulphide bridges”

What forces determine protein structure?
![Page 17: Protein Structure and Bioinformatics. Chapter 2 What is protein structure? What are proteins made of? What forces determines protein structure? What is](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052514/5a4d1b227f8b9ab059995a99/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Minimum free energy
• Proteins tend to fold naturally to the state of minimum free energy (Christian Anfinsen).
• This state is determined by forces due to interactions among the residues.
• Proteins usually fold in an aqueous environment, so interactions with water molecules are key.
• Some proteins fold in membranes, so interactions with lipids are important.

Atomic Bonds
• Covalent bonds – strong!– Single bonds can usually rotate freely– Double bonds are rigid
• Hydrogen bonds – weak – Oxygen and Nitrogen share a proton (Hydrogen)
• Van der Waals forces – weaker still

What is secondary structure?
![Page 22: Protein Structure and Bioinformatics. Chapter 2 What is protein structure? What are proteins made of? What forces determines protein structure? What is](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052514/5a4d1b227f8b9ab059995a99/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Certain repetitive structures are energetically favorable
• These make lots of hydrogen bonds among residues.
• They don’t encounter lots of steric hindrances.• They occur over and over again in natural
proteins.• Some combinations of secondary structures
are so common they are called “folds” (e.g., the SCOP database of protein folds).

Sheets are usually curved and can even form barrels.

Beta Turns: getting around tight corners
• Steric hindrance determines whether a tight turn is possible
• R3’s side chain is usually Hydrogen (R3 is glycine)

How is protein structure determined experimentally?
![Page 31: Protein Structure and Bioinformatics. Chapter 2 What is protein structure? What are proteins made of? What forces determines protein structure? What is](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052514/5a4d1b227f8b9ab059995a99/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
X-ray crystallography• Needs crystallized proteins• Hard to get crystals• Very tough for hydrophobic
(e.g. transmembrane) proteins
• Better accuracy than NMR• Expensive:
$100,000/protein

NMR spectroscopy
• Protons resonate at a frequency that depends on their chemical environment.
• This can be used to predict structure.• Does not require crystallization; protein may
be in solution.• Lower resolution than X-ray crystallography

How can protein structure be predicted in silico?
![Page 35: Protein Structure and Bioinformatics. Chapter 2 What is protein structure? What are proteins made of? What forces determines protein structure? What is](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052514/5a4d1b227f8b9ab059995a99/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Tertiary structure prediction is still too hard
• Ab initio modeling– Uses primary sequence only– E.g., Rosetta
• Comparative modeling– Uses sequence alignment to
protein of known structure– E.g., Modeller
Rosetta prediction

Secondary Structure Prediction
• Much simpler to predict a small set of classes than to predict 3-D coordinates of atoms.
• Amino acids have different propensities for alpha helices, turns and beta sheets.
• Homology can also be used since fold is more conserved than sequence.
