C to C Phi φN to N Psi ψ
Takes 4 atoms to define rotationabout a bond!
Trans vs. Cis peptide bondsTrans, carbonyl oxygen is on opposite side of peptide bond from amide hydrogen
Fischer & Sumner Proteins have regular structure
Hydrophobic effect
Helices (, 310, π) n to n+4, n to n+3, n to n+5 has 3.6 residues/turn, 1.5Å rise/residue
-sheets parallel, antiparallel, mixed 3.5Å (C - C)
Turns Must connect secondary structure somehow – usually not regular structure so backbone exposed
Sequence preference for helices, sheets, turns(loops)
Helices usually are amphipathic, so are sheets! Where do the sidechains point?
Motifs H-L-H, -H-, -hairpin, Greek key
Ramachandran diagrams – 3 major regions (B, A, L)
Staggaered conformation of sidechains (rotomers)
Supersecondary structure
Domains, mosaic proteins
Tertiary, Quaternary structure
