PROTEINS
ProteinsA protein is made of monomers called amino acids
ProteinProtein structure is determined by the number and order of amino acids
Protein StructureThe structure of proteins are important because
1. Proteins make up what our cells look like
2. Proteins carry out important functions in the cell
Special Proteins
Proteins that catalyze reactions (which means speed up reactions) are called enzymes
Examples of enzymes picture
Tyrosinase Hydrolase Lactase
Four Levels of Protein Structure
Primary Structure (1o structure)
The order and number of amino acids strung together aka a polypeptide chain.
Four Levels of Protein Structure
Secondary Structure (2o structure)
Common shapes found in all proteins made from hydrogen bonds such as alpha helices and beta pleated sheets
Four Levels of Protein Structure
Tertiary Structure (3o structure)
The three dimensional (3-D) structure of amino acids
Four Levels of Protein Structure
Quaternary Structure (4o structure)
2 or more polypeptides that are folded in a 3D shape and combined together

Protein Function• Made by all living things to perform these
functions:o Structural: Hair and muscleso Immunity: Antibodieso Signaling and communication:
Neurotransmitters and hormones.o Transport: Ion channelso Enzymes: Catalyze (speed up) biochemical
reactions
Enzymes in our daily lives:
PROTEASE
HYDROLASE LACTASE
Enzymes are the ConstructionWorkers of the Cell…
Enzymes help BUILD UP or BREAK DOWN
molecular structures
Catalysts• Catalysts speed up chemical reactions by lowering the
activation energy and are not used up in the reaction.
How do catalytic enzymes work?• Substrate binds a region of the enzyme called the active
site (a pocket formed by the folding of the protein enzyme that is highly specific for the substrate).
Enzymes are usually named with the suffix –ase added to the name of the substrate or reaction

Changing how enzymes work
We can change the enzymes ability to catalyze (speed up) a reaction in two ways:
1. Denaturation – protein unfolding into the 1o structure
2. Inhibition – preventing an enzyme from functioning 1. Competitive inhibitors – block the active site so that the substrate
can not bind
2. Non-competitive inhibitors - bind to the enzyme and make them unable to bind the substrate
Why care about enzymes?• Enzyme that helps muscle cells communicate with the
nervous system.• Nerve Gas inhibits acetylcholinesterase
o Enzyme is used to break down the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. o When it is inhibited, paralysis and death follow.

Why care about enzymes?Myasthenia Gravis is an autoimmune disease that causes an individual to suffer from severe muscle weakness. This weakness is caused by a decreased amount of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the neuromuscular junction. These receptors normally are activated by the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which is also deactivated by an enzyme called acetylcholinesterase. By inhibiting acetylcholinesterase, more acetylcholine is available to the receptors and a normal ratio of receptors to neurotransmitters is established and the muscles can function normally. In this video a myasthenic dog, who normally has trouble walking, is treated with an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor and can walk and even run normally until the inhibition wears off.
ENZYME LAB
Objective
To extract the enzyme Tyrosinase from a Portobello mushroom in order to test the reaction rate of the enzyme in normal conditions and compare it to conditions where the enzyme is exposed to inhibitors, increased temperature, or changes in pH.
The Enzyme Tyrosinase
Tyrosinase is an enzyme that causes pigmentation in apples, skin, hair, etc.
