Cover; Half title; Title; Copyright; Dedication; Table Of Contents; PREFACE; ACKNOWLEDGMENTS; RESOURCES FOR INSTRUCTORS; ABOUT THE AUTHORS; Chapter 1 Proteins Are Polymers That Fold into Specific Structures; PROTEINS ARE THE MACHINES THAT PERFORM CELLULAR FUNCTIONS; PROTEINS HAVE SEQUENCE-STRUCTURE-FUNCTION RELATIONSHIPS; AMINO ACIDS ARE THE REPEAT UNITS OF PROTEINS; Amino Acids Are Chiral Molecules; The 20 Amino Acids Have Different Physical Properties; In Proteins, Amino Acids Are Linked Together through Peptide Bonds; Peptide Bonds Are Planar |
|
The Rotational Freedom around the Backbone Peptide Bond Is Described Using Ramachandran MapsSide Chains Adopt Preferred Conformations; NATIVE PROTEINS HAVE COMPACT WELL-DEFINED 3D STRUCTURES; Proteins Come in Different Sizes and Shapes; Native Protein Chains Are Balled Up and Tightly Packed; Proteins Have Hydrophobic Cores; The Amino Acids in Native Proteins Are Hydrogen-Bonded to Each Other; Cysteines Can Form Disulfide Bonds; PROTEINS HAVE HIERARCHIES OF STRUCTURE; The Secondary Structures of Proteins Are Helices and Sheets |
|
Supersecondary Structures, Also Called Structural Motifs, Are Common Combinations of Secondary StructuresSome Substructures of Proteins Are Compact Functional Domains; Native Protein Topologies Are Described Using Contact Maps; How Can You Classify Protein Tertiary Structures?; Proteins Are Classified by Structural and Evolutionary Properties in the CATH Database; Quaternary Structures: Higher-Order Structures Result from Noncovalent Assemblies of Multiple Chains; Domain Swapping Is Another Way That Proteins Can Form Quaternary Structures |
|
Ribosomes Manufacture ProteinsMolecular Chaperones Are Proteins That Help Other Proteins to Fold Correctly; PROTEINS WORK FOR A LIVING; Some Proteins Are Biochemical Catalysts, Called Enzymes; Some Proteins, Called Motors, Convert Energy into Motion; Some Proteins Help Move Molecules or Ions across Membranes; Some Proteins Have Signaling and Regulatory Actions; Some Proteins Are Structural and Protective Materials; PROTEINS ARE HEALTHY OR SICK OR DIE; Proteins Can Misfold, Sometimes in Association with Disease; Proteasomes Digest Proteins; SUMMARY; REFERENCES; SUGGESTED READING |
