Paul D. Adams • University of Arkansas
Protein Structure
• Many _________________ are possible for proteins:
• Due to flexibility of amino acids linked by peptide
bonds
• At least one major _________________ has
biological activity, and hence is considered the
protein’s _______________ _________________
Levels of Protein Structure
___ structure: the ________________ of amino acids
in a polypeptide chain, read from the N-terminal end
to the C-terminal end
___ structure: the ______________ ______________
arrangements (conformations) in localized regions of
a polypeptide chain; refers only to interactions of the
peptide backbone e. g., -helix and -pleated sheet
___ structure: 3-D arrangement of all atoms
___ structure: arrangement of monomer subunits with
respect to each other
1˚ Structure
• The 1˚ sequence of proteins determines its 3-D
conformation
• Changes in just one amino acid in sequence can alter
biological function, e.g. hemoglobin associated with
sickle-cell anemia

lab work (See Ch. 5).

-Helices and -Sheets
• __________________ structures: the combination
of - and -sections, as for example
•  unit: two parallel strands of -sheet connected by
a stretch of -helix
•  unit: two antiparallel -helices
• -meander: an antiparallel sheet formed by a series of
tight reverse turns connecting stretches of a
polypeptide chain
• Greek key: a repetitive supersecondary structure
formed when an antiparallel sheet doubles back on
itself

to fold back on themselves
