Proteins

Proteins:
• Organic compound
– Made up of C, H, O, N and some with S
– Proteins are made up of long chains of the repeating units called amino acids.
04/21/23
• There are 20 different types of amino acids that make up all proteins.
10 are essential to humans
10 Essential Amino Acids:
04/21/23
• The 20 amino acids combine in different orders to make up different proteins
– Similar to the letters of the alphabet
• 26 different letters combine to make 500,000+ words

Examples of foods rich in proteins:

Foods which are the best sources of amino acids:

In other words…………….
You are what you eat!!!!!!!
Or this…………….

Your choice………………….
How much protein should you eat/day?
04/21/23
Multiply your weight in pounds by 0.4 to estimate how many grams of protein you need each day.
For example, a female who weighs 120 lbs would need about 48 grams of protein (120 lbs x 0.4 = 48 grams).
Food Grams of protein
3 oz of tuna 22 grams
3 oz of hamburger 21 grams
3 oz of chicken 21 grams
1 cup yogurt 11 grams
2 Tbsp peanut butter 8 grams
1 cup of milk 8 grams
1 egg 7 grams

Function of Proteins:
• Overall job of proteins is to:
–Build new cells
–Repair damages to our tissues and cells
–Maintain our cells
–Help digest our food
–Regulate all cellular reactions

• Proteins can be divided into two main types:
1. Structural Proteins:• They build and support our tissues
Examples of proteins:
Collagen…………………skin
Keratin……………………hair
Actin and Myosin………….human muscles

• 2. Functional Proteins:
They perform specific functions within our bodies.
Example:
Enzymes…speed up chemical reactions like digestion
Insulin….transports glucose into cells
Antibodies….destroy bacteria and viruses
Hemoglobin…transports oxygen to cells
04/21/23
• Amino acids bond together into chains with peptide bonds
• A type of chemical bond
04/21/23
lysine Amino acid
Dipeptide
Tripeptide
Polypetptide
Peptide Bond
• All proteins have a very unique 3-D shape
– If 3-D shape is altered the protein will be damaged.• Extreme cold to collagen…………Frost bite• Extreme heat to collagen…………3rd degree
burn

Frying an egg:
04/21/23
Egg White: 10% protein
Yolk:15% protein
Levels of organization of a protein:
• 1st: Primary structure• Proteins are made in a linear shape
–Straight line
• A specific chain of amino acids is put together in the correct order according to DNA’s code

One single change…
Amino Acid Sequence
Normal Sickle
-Threonine – Proline – Glucine – Glucine
-Threonine– Proline – Valine - Glucine
• 2nd: Secondary Structure• The chain of amino acids becomes:
– Coiled– Pleated– A spiral
– Shape held in place with weak Hydrogen bonds.
04/21/23
• 3rd: Tertiary Structure– The amino acid chain gets a 3-D shape– Each type of protein has its own 3-D shape– If shape is altered the protein can not function
right.

• 4th: Quaternary Structure
– This level is achieved when two protein chains bond together to create a new protein.

Enzymes:
04/21/23
-are catalyst-they are complex proteins that speed up all chemical reactions with our bodies.
Enzymes are responsible for:-cell respiration-photosynthesis-Protein synthesis-Digestion
Enzymes control every reaction
within our bodies.
04/21/23
• Enzymes are substrate specific.
• Substrates are substances enzymes act upon like specific
types of food.
• Enzymes are specific types proteins. Therefore enzymes have specific 3-D shapes.
• For each substrate/substance there is only one enzyme that can act upon it.
Take the example of digestion:
04/21/23
Enzymes make the reaction of digestion occur 10 million times faster than it would without the enzymes.
Digest candy bar with enzymes….20 min to 2 hours
Digest same candy bar without enzymes….100 years
04/21/23
Substrate: Substance that an enzyme breaks down or acts upon. Ex: Our candy bar
Due to their specific 3-D shape an enzyme can only act upon one type of substrate.
There are different enzymes to break down the peanuts, the chocolate, the creamy filling, etc…..
04/21/23
• Enzymes in the human alimentary canal and what they digest:
Enzyme SubstrateAmylase StarchMaltase MaltoseSucrase Sucrose
Lipase Lipids/Fats
Protease / peptin Proteins
The name of enzymes end in the suffix “ASE”.
04/21/23
Enzymes follow the lock and key hypothesis:
For every type of substrate there is only one type of enzyme to break it down.
Just like there is only one specific key which fits into a specific type of lock.

Let’s take a milk break…..
04/21/23
Contains galactose and lactose sugars
Lactase
It’s a disaccharide
04/21/23
-The specific 3-D shape of an enzyme is called the active site.
-point on the enzyme that “fits” around
or into the substrate.-point where the substrate is broken.

04/21/23
-Enzymes are not altered or used up during a reaction.-Enzymes can be used over and over again.

How environmental factors affect enzymes:
Denaturing of enzymes:-extreme heat or coldness, and strong acids
or bases can alter the shape of the active site making it less effective. (breaks the hydrogen bonds holding the 3D shape in place).
-this is called the denaturing of the enzyme

Coenzymes:
-Vitamins and minerals can bond to the enzyme and increase the rate of its
function.
04/21/23
-Certain drugs can bond to the enzyme and block the active site rendering it useless for doing its real job.
Example: The drug marijuanacontains the chemical THC. THC temporarily bonds to enzymes in our brain cells causing them to notfunction correctly thus causing the temporary feeling of being “high”.
