a.a.s allow us a way to measure the concentrations of proteins in solutions using at Abs at 280 nm and Beers Law. Trp has the largest aromatic ring structure and the strongest absorbance, proteins high in Trp residues have high Abs, while those with little to no Trp/Tyr have little to no Abs at 280 nm.

ionizable group (where protons can be removed) Start with a completely protonated amino acid/peptide, then deprotonate each group based upon the pKa value. What happens when the pH = pKa?
pI
Whats the pI?
The isoelectric point, the pH when the charge is 0 Each amino acid/peptide has only ONE pI
pI = (pKa1+ pKa2)

negatively charged
pH scale

If the pH falls in a value above the pI, the a.a./peptide will be negatively charged If the pH falls in a value below the pI, the a.a./peptide will be positively charged

Protein Structure
Protein Purification
Purify proteins based upon protein properties Expression- Native vs. non-native Problem: Have your protein, but its mixed with everything
get the protein out of the cell. Cells are broken open by sonicaters, homogenizers, etc., then centrifuge Next you need to get the protein from the other mixture.
water will more favorable interact with the small salt ions than the large protein molecule.

Column Chromatography
Separating proteins based
upon their different properties, collect fractions (fractionate) as they elute from a column to separate molecules. Mobile phase: solution (buffer/protein) Stationary phase: beads

more basic), a net negative charge exists. At pH < pI (meaning the pH is more acidic), a net positive charge exists. When pH=pI no net charge
How do you elute bound protein?

Size-exclusion chromatography
Separates proteins based on
size. Stationary phase: beads with small pores Beads have small pores, the smaller proteins will travel through the pores traveling a longer distance making them travel slower. The larger proteins elute first.

Affinity chromatography
This system takes advantage a
proteins natural affinity for a ligand. Stationary phase: Beads with a ligand covalently bound Proteins that bind that ligand bind to the column. How do you elute bound protein?

Mix protein 1:1 with a 2X Loading Dye, the run it on a gel Loading Dye contains: SDS and a Reducing Agent (ME or
DTT), it reduces and lines the protein. Smallest proteins run the farthest.

Determine the primary sequence of the peptide based on the following experimental data.
Treatment of a sample of peptide (containing 31 amino acid
residues) with carboxypeptidase A liberates Gln. Treatment of another sample of peptide with FDNB liberates DNBTyr Treatment of a third aliquot of peptide with trypsin produces the following peptides: Lys Gly-Gln Asn-Ala-Ile-Val-Lys Tyr-Gly-Gly-Phe-Met-Thr-Ser-Glu-Lys Ser-Gln-Thr-Pro-LeuVal-Thr-Leu-Phe-Lys Asn-Ala-His-Lys
