Disulfide bonds
stabilize.
Toughness depends
on amount of
disulfides
Rhinoceros horn,
18% of residues are
Cys in disulfides.
Silk Fibroin
Produced by insects and
spiders.
High tensile strength, but
flexible
Mostly close-packed bsheets
Rich in Ala and Gly
(alternating why?)
No covalent bonds
between strands or
sheets.
Extensive H-bonding and
van der Waals
interactions for strength.

Homologous Proteins
have similar function and similar AA sequence as
well as 3D shape
Invariant AAs are involved in function or bonding
critical to the protein's shape
Variable AAs are only parts of the protein's
framework
analyze the AA sequences of the same protein from
different organisms
example is the electron carrying protein of
mitochondria called Cytochrome c which has a
bound heme-Fe so it has a red-orange color like
hemoglobin
AP Biology
Cytochrome C
Since Cytochrome c
appears to be required
for survival of
eukaryotic organisms,
change in its amino
acid sequence, which
reflects change in its
gene, can be used to
measure change in
species during
evolution.
