Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, and can act as both a Brønsted acid and a Brønsted base through intramolecular proton transfer (see Chapter 16, pg. 709 of the textbook). The simplest amino acid known is glycine, NH2CH2CO2H (Ka = 4.5 ×10–3 and Kb = 6.0 ×10–5 ), and it can exist in three forms in equilibrium with one another:

H2N––CH2––COOH +H3N––CH2––COOH +H3N––CH2––COO– H2N––CH2––COO–

Glycine cation zwitterion anion

(a) Write the equilibria corresponding to Ka and Kb of glycine.

(b) Estimate the value of the equilibrium constant, K, for the intramolecular proton transfer to form the zwitterion in glycine: H2N––CH2––COOH (aq) K ? +H3N––CH2––COO– (aq)

(c) If the pH of an aqueous solution containing glycine is 7.2, in what form is glycine most abundant?

Researchers have described the “binary patterning” of polar and nonpolar amino acids in the sequences of proteins. In their code, polar and charged residues like D, N, E, Q, K, H, and R are represented as open circles (○) and nonpolar residues like F, L, I, M, and V as closed circles (●). Thus, a polypeptide with the sequence asp-ile-his-phe-gln would be represented as ○●○●○. Researchers analyzed the binary patterns of isolated secondary structure elements (short pieces) from native proteins. A sequence with the pattern ○●●○○●●○○●●○ forms an amphipathic alpha helix that has a nonpolar face and a polar face. A sequence with the pattern ○●○●○● forms an amphipathic beta strand. Explain these observations by discussing the structures of helices and sheets.

Your project should be on temperature adaptation or thermostability of proteins.

For a temperature adaptation project select an ectothermic organism with sub-species living in different climates. You will then focus on one protein, preferably an enzyme, for which you need to find amino acid sequences (one for each sub-species). You also need at least one crystal structure of this protein with enough sequence similarity to your selected amino acid sequences to make it feasible to create homology models. Finally, you will make comparisons between the structures or homology models while focusing on structural features that promote protein stability.

OR

For a thermostability project select a thermophilic organism (for example a bacterium thriving in a hot spring) and one protein, preferably an enzyme for which a crystal structure is already available. Next, you will need to search for crystal structures and/or amino acid sequences of your selected protein in other non-thermophilic organisms so that you can make comparisons between the crystal structures (or homology models). Aim to identify structural features that promote the thermostability of the protein from the thermophilic organism.

State the parameters of your project:

Species:

Protein(s):

PDB ID:

Confirm that you will have access to protein sequences and at least one protein structure (as a template for homology modeling) so that you can carry out your project. Post the access codes for the sequences and the PDB-ID(s) here:

Make a list of structural features that promote protein stability:

Note: Except the isocitrate dehydrogenase protein.
