Globular & Fibrous Proteins Flashcards
Globular proteins has peptide chains folded into _____ or _____ _____
Spherical or globular shapes
Hydrophobic side chains are in the ____
Interior
Polar side chains are on the
Exterior
5 example of globular proteins
Hemoglobin, immunoglobulin, myoglobin, insulin, transferrin
Two proteins, myoglobin and hemoglobin are ___ proteins
Heme
Proteins that maintain a supply of oxygen essential for oxidative phosphorylation
Heme proteins
Heme Proteins maintain a supply of oxygen essential for?
oxidative phosphorylation
A cyclic tetrapyrrole linked by methylene bridges
Heme
Resides at the center of the planar ring
Ferrous ion
The oxidation of ferrous to ____ ion destroys biological activity of these proteins thus giving the blood a ___ color.
Ferric , red
A MONOMERIC protein
Myoglobin
Myo in myoglobin means
Muscles
Tetrameric protein
Hemoglobin
Myoglobin is found in ____ that serves as reservoir in times of oxygen deprivation
Red muscles
Myoglobin is rich in?
a-helices (75%)
The a-helices contains two special histidine residue.
His E7 and His F8
His E7 (distal histidine) and His F8 (proximal
histidine). These two residues lie close to the
____ and assist in ____
heme iron, oxygen binding.
A tetrameric protein found in ___
which transport oxygen to the ____ and
returns carbon dioxide and protons to the
lungs
erythrocytes, tissues
A tetrameric protein found in erythrocytes
which transport ____ to the tissues and
returns _____ to the
lungs
oxygen, carbon dioxide and protons
Hemoglobin is a multi-subunit protein represented by
,
πΌ2π½2
the ____ of hemoglobin closely resemble
the structure of myoglobin.
π½ subunits
present in
hemoglobin provide additional mechanisms of
control.
Allosteric sites
(for regulation; molecules
can bind here
Allosteric sites
an oxygen molecule
binds more readily to hemoglobin if other
oxygen molecules are already bound
Cooperative binding
Hemoglobin can bind up to
4 oxygen
molecules, one per heme.
The subunits of hemoglobin Γ§an exist in two states
Relaxed and Taut State
more open; oxygen has higher affinity for
this state;
Relaxed
tighter structure; oxygen has lower affinity for
this state;
Taut
default state when oxygen concentration is high
Relaxed
default state when oxygen is absent
Taut
The ability of hemoglobin to
reversibly bind oxygen is affected
by the
ππ2
Binding of π2, in hemoglobin
drives the release of .
πΆπ2
Hemoglobin (Hb) binds _____ with increasing affinity.
Oxygen
Binding of π2, in hemoglobin
drives the release of πΆπ2. This
is depended upon the
cooperative interactions
between the hemes of the
hemoglobin tetramer.
Effect of
______
Stabilizes the Taut state and promotes
release of π2.
2,3-bisphosphoglycerate
Effect of
2,3-bisphosphoglycerate
Stabilizes the ___ and promotes
release of ___.
Taut state, π2
The role of 2,3-biphosphoglycerate is especially
significant for ____ where
pressure of π2 is low.
high altitudes
Imagine your
climbing to the top of the mountain, once
your body feels ____ __ ____ due
to the increase of altitude, the ____
tries to release the stored oxygen, to
supply it to the body.
depletion of oxygen, 2,3-BPG
This is similar to
____ who wore ____
behind them when diving in a deep
ocean.
scuba divers, oxygen tanks
Have traditionally been defines as a family of genetic
disorders caused by production of a structurally
abnormal hemoglobin molecule.
HEMOGLOBINOPATHIES
Common Hemoglobinopathies:
- Sickle Cell Anemia (Hemoglobin S disease)
- Hemoglobin C disease
Glu amino acid is mutated to a Val
Sickle Cell Anemia (Hemoglobin S disease)
Glu amino acid is mutated to Lysine
Hemoglobin C disease
has an elongated shape
Fibrous protein
Fibrous protein tends to have ____, ___, ____, structures
simple, regular, and
linear
tend to aggregate together to form
macromolecular structures

abundant protein in ____.
vertebrates
Collagens structure is organized in
______ ____ of great strength
water-insoluble fibers
A _____ consists of three polypeptide chains
wrapped around each other in a ropelike twist or triple
helix.
collagen fiber
These three strands or polypeptide chains are held together by ___
bonds
hydrogen
