  29. Protein Folding and Stability

  30. How do proteins fold and unfold? The information for proteins to fold is contained in the amino acid sequence. Can proteins fold by themselvesor do they need help?

  31. Protein folding proceeds through intermediates

  32. Intermediates inprotein folding Figure 4.31

  33. Heating proteins willunfold or “denature”the molecule. Figure 4.25

  34. Anfinsen’sprotein foldingexperiment Figure 4.29

  35. Protein Folding A cell can make a biologically active protein of 100 amino acids in 5 seconds. If each amino acid could adopt 10 different conformations this makes 10100 different conformations for the protein. If each conformation were randomly sampled in 10-13 seconds it would take 1077 years Therefore protein folding must not be a random process.

  36. Energy well of protein folding Figure 4.25

  37. Forces driving protein folding: • Hydrophobic effect • Hydrogen bonding • Charge-charge interactions • Van der Waals interactions

  38. Molecular Chaperones(Chaperonins) Some proteins don’t spontaneously fold to native structures. They receive help from proteins called chaperonins Best characterized chaperonin system is from E. coli. GroEL / GroES chaperonin system (GroE chaperonin) These chaperonins bind to unfolded or partially folded proteins and prevent them from aggregating. They assist in refolding the proteins before releasing them.

  42. Collagen is a fibrous proteinfound in vertebrateconnective tissue. Collagen has a triple helixstructure, giving it strengthgreater than a steel wire ofequal cross section.
