that is the backbone of a peptide chain or
protein

Secondary Structure – Alpha
Helix
• Three-dimensional arrangement of amino
acids with the polypeptide chain in a
corkscrew shape
• Held by H bonds between the H of –N-H group
and the –O of C=O of the fourth amino acid
along the chain
• Looks like a coiled “telephone cord”
3
Secondary Structure – Beta
Pleated Sheet
• Polypeptide chains are
arranged side by side
• Hydrogen bonds form
between chains
• R groups of extend above and
below the sheet
• Typical of fibrous proteins
such as silk
4
Secondary Structure – Triple
Helix
• Three polypeptide chains
woven together
• Glycine, proline, hydroxy
proline and hydroxylysine
• H bonding between –OH
groups gives a strong
structure
• Typical of collagen, connective
tissue, skin, tendons, and
cartilage

Quaternary Structure
• Proteins with two or more chains
• Example is hemoglobin
Carries oxygen in blood
Four polypeptide chains
Each chain has a heme group to
bind oxygen

Protein Hydrolysis
• Break down of peptide bonds
• Requires acid or base, water and
heat
• Gives smaller peptides and
amino acids
• Similar to digestion of proteins
using enzymes
• Occurs in cells to provide amino
acids to synthesize other
proteins and tissues

Denaturation
Disruption of secondary, tertiary and quaternary protein
structure by
heat/organics
Break apart H bonds and disrupt hydrophobic
attractions
acids/ bases
Break H bonds between polar R groups and
ionic bonds
heavy metal ions
React with S-S bonds to form solids
agitation
17
Stretches chains until bonds break
Applications of Denaturation
• Hard boiling an egg
• Wiping the skin with alcohol swab for
injection
• Cooking food to destroy E. coli.
• Heat used to cauterize blood vessels
• Autoclave sterilizes instruments
• Milk is heated to make yogurt

Learning Check P4
What are the products of the complete
hydrolysis of Ala-Ser-Val?
19
Solution P4
The products of the complete hydrolysis
of Ala-Ser-Val are
alanine
serine
valine
20
Learning Check P5
Tannic acid is used to form a scab on a
burn. An egg becomes hard boiled when
placed in hot water. What is similar about
these two events?
21
Solution P5
Acid and heat cause a denaturation of
protein. They both break bonds in the
secondary and tertiary structure of
protein.
