Stereochemistry onfiguration vs. onformation onfiguration: ovalent bonds must be broken onformation: hanges do NT require breaking of covalent bonds onfiguration Two kinds of isomers to consider is/trans: substituents in different positions in relation to double bond Maleic acid (cis) Fumaric acid (trans) 1
onfiguration Two kinds of isomers to consider Stereoisomers: substituents differ in placement around a chiral center http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/image:hirality_with_hands.jpg onformation?? onformation: hanges do NT require breaking of covalent bonds - only rotation about a single bond! EX. Would Lysine act the same way in a protein binding site in different conformations? 2

Today s Brief Review Topics ydrophobic effect The ydrophobic Effect ΔG = Δ -TΔS Berg, Tymoczko and Stryer: Biochemistry, 5 th Ed. 2002, W Freeman and o. 4
Today s Main Topics Amino acids Acid/base calculations Effect of chemical environment on substituents reminder ydropathy index Amino Acid charge, movement in electric field, pi Naming a peptide, calculating charge Protein Structures: 1⁰, 2⁰, 3⁰, 4⁰ Bond rotation in a peptide α-helices, β-strands Amino Acids 5
Acid/Base and Net harge Info Understand conceptually what the approximate percentage of acid or base form is at p = pk a +/- 1 and +/- 2 Know how to calculate net charge at these pk a values Each ionizable group on an amino acid will require separate calculations!! EXAMPLE: Worked on whiteboard ydrophobic Amino Acids (7) 1 2 3 4 ydropathy index: Would you predict it to be negative or positive? 5 6 7 6
harged Amino Acids (4) 1 2 3 4 ydropathy index: Would you predict it to be negative or positive? Polar Amino Acids (8) 1 2 3 4 ydropathy index: Would you predict it to be negative or positive? (Any exceptions?) 5 6 7 8 7
Effect of hemical Environment Is solvent p important? ow might a change from p 2 to p 12 affect an amino acid? an cause protonation or deprotonation of carboxyl, amine and dissociable R groups 8
ow can you predict this? Each substituent has a known pka value, which tells you about the tendency of a proton to dissociate Below the known pka, the substituent will be protonated Above the known pka, the substituent will be de-protonated EXAMPLE: pka - ~2.3, pka N 3+ ~9.6 p 1.5 ~ p 2.3 p 7 ~ p 9.6 p 11 Berg, Tymoczko and Stryer: Biochemistry, 5 th Ed. 2002, W Freeman and o. Example Problem A ❶ B ❹ ❷ ❺ ❻ ❸ What is the name of amino acid A? Amino Acid B? Would groups 1-6 be protonated or depronated at p 7? What would be the charge on each group at p 7? n the entire amino acid? 9
Example Problem A ❶ B ❹ ❷ ❺ ❻ ❸ Which direction would amino acid A move in an electric field (towards the positive or negative pole)? Amino acid B? Given: pi A = 9.74, pi B = 3.22. If the p of the gel was 9.74, which way would A move? If the p was 3.22, which way would B move? Peptides an you name the peptide below? Which direction do you write the name? Which resides have ionizable side chains? 2 N N N N 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 N N N 2 10
