  9. Uncommon Amino Acids • Cell wall (plant) • Collagen (connective tissue) • Collagen • Myosin • A few proteins • Incorporation during translation • Prothrombin (blood clotting) • Ca2+ binding proteins • Elastin

  10. Reversible amino acid modifications

  11. Amino Acids as Acids and Bases • Zwitterion • Either acids or bases • Ampholytes (substances with zwitterionic nature)

  12. Titration of Amino Acids • Two pKa and two buffering regions • pI (isoelectric point or isoelectric pH) • Characteristic pH with zero net electric charge • Above pI : negative charge • Below pI : positive charge • pI = (pK1 + pK2)/2 = 5.92

  13. Effect of Chemical Environment on pKa

  14. Amino Acids with Ionizable R Group • pI = (pK1 + pKR)/2 = 3.22 • pI = (pKR+ pK2)/2 = 7.59

  15. Peptides and Proteins

  16. Peptides and Proteins • Peptide; Chains of amino acids • Dehydration reaction b/t amino acids peptide bond • Polypeptide vs. protein • Polypeptide: Mr<10,000 • Amino-terminal (N-terminal) • Carboxyl-terminal (C-terminal)

  17. Ionization of Peptide • Ionization of peptide • One free a-amino group • One free a-carboxyl group • Inonizable R groups • pKa of R groups in peptide • Different from pKa of free amino acid  affected by environmental factors

  18. Biologically Active Peptides and Polypeptides • Size • Small peptide • Vertebrate hormones (peptide hormones) • Oxytocin (9), thyrotropin-releasing factor (3), insulin (30 + 21) • Antibiotics, amanitin • Most of the proteins • < 2,000 a.a. (exception, titin) • Oligomeric status • Single polypeptide chain • Multisubunit proteins (non-covalent interaction) • Oligomeric : at least two subunits are identical • Protomers : identical units • Calculation of the number of amino acid residues • Mr / 110 • Average Mr of 20 a.a. : 138 • Average Mr of protein a.a : 128 • Removal of water during peptide bond formation : 128 -18 =110
