today we will start with a new chapter
protein synthesis and enzymatic activity
we will start with activity 1 proteins
and association of amino acids
at the end of this lesson
we will be able to recognize that each
protein is made up of amino acids list
the chemical elements found in an amino
acid and write the chemical formula of
an amino acid
we will be supplied with a summary sheet
concerning the required objectives
previously in chapter 2 we have
discussed some facts about the genetic
material that is found in the cell
but if you remember this genetic
material is basis of all proteins that
are produced
in this chapter we will study about
protein synthesis and enzymatic activity
first of all
can you recall back where proteins are
found in the body
let's recall back together some examples
of proteins
some proteins you may have heard of
the hemoglobin found inside our blood
cells is a protein
its job is to pick up oxygen molecules
and carry them around our body
[Music]
antibodies are proteins
they're dispatched by our immune cells
to attack foreign invaders
and hair and nails get their structure
from keratin that's a protein too
[Music]
there are literally thousands of weird
and wonderful types of protein
frantically busy carrying out all the
activities that make cells alive
as known the building blocks or
constituents of proteins are amino acids
and there are 20 different types of
amino acids
but how can we identify the amino acids
that constitute a specific protein
molecule
there is a technique that allows to
identify the chemical constituents of a
protein
this technique allows the migration of
the amino acids
according to their degree of solubility
in a given solvent
so again
this technique allows the migration of
amino acids depending on their degree of
solubility in a given solvent
this technique is called bi-dimensional
chromatography
let's have some examples of different
amino acids
alanine methionine and phenylalanine
these three different amino acids
have
a central carbon atom
in the middle
they have
the carboxylic group
the amino group
and a hydrogen atom
in common however
they differ
by
a group that is described as
r group so amino acids differ from each
other by their r groups
so every amino acid has
a central carbon atom
termed as alpha carbon
an amino group
carboxylic group
and an organic r group or the side chain
that determines the identity of the
amino acid
here we can see the 20 different types
of amino acids
alanine glycine isolecine lucian proline
valine
phenylalanine tryptophan tyrosine
aspartic acid glutamic acid
arginine histidine
lysine serine threonine
cysteine methionine asparagine and
glutamine
of course here we just have to be
familiar with these amino acids and we
aren't responsible
to study their names
although proteins constitute from the
same building blocks
they differ from each other so what
characterizes each protein molecule
here we have a table
that shows the different constitutions
of amino acids
among four different proteins the
pro-insulin insulin gastrin and
casein after observing the table and
observing the total numbers we notice
that each protein has a different total
number of amino acids
this helps us to conclude the first
characteristic concerning
the difference among proteins which is
that each protein has a specific total
number of amino acids
if we refer to the same table again we
noticed that different types of proteins
may constitute the same types of amino
acids but with different numbers
like for example the first two amino
acids if we take the first two proteins
the pro insulin and insulin we notice
that they both constitute of alanine
where pro-insulin constitutes of four
more than insulin does which constitutes
of only one allen molecule
also they both constitute of glutamine
where pro-insulin has seven glutamine
molecules
where insulin has only three
they also constitute overglycin but
pro-insulin contains eighty glycine
molecules more than insulin does which
contains only four
then we come up with the second
characteristic which is that each
protein has a specific number of each
type of amino acids
now concerning the last characteristic
here we can take an example
two segments of proteins
one
corresponding to normal insulin and the
other for abnormal insulin
we noticed that
they they both have the same
constitution of amino acids except for
one amino acid which is here histidine
in the normal insulin chain
which is replaced by aspartic acid in
the abnormal insulin
here we can conclude the last
characteristic which is
that each protein has a specific
sequence of amino acids
now let's sum up the characteristics of
a protein molecule
first each protein molecule has a
specific number of amino acids
it has a specific number of each type of
amino acid
and finally it has a specific sequence
of amino acids
to sum up each protein is made up of
amino acids each protein is
characterized by
having a specific number of amino acids
by an specific number of each type of
amino acids and a specific sequence of
amino acids an amino acid is made up of
the chemical elements carbon hydrogen
oxygen and nitrogen
and the chemical formula of an amino
acid is as follows
a central carbon atom termed as alpha
carbon
hydrogen
amino group
carboxylic group and the r group which
is specific for every amino acid
