One or many chiral centers
N chiral centers 2N possible stereoisomers and 2N-1 are enantiomericFor N = 2there are 4 possible sterioisomers of which 2 are enatiomersand 2 are diastereomers
Diastereomers are not mirror images and have different chemical properties.
StereoisomersStereoisomers

In the Fischer projection all bonds in the horizontal direction is coming out of the plane if the paper, while
the vertical bonds project behind the plane of the paper
All naturally occurring amino acids that make up proteins are in the L conformation
The CORN method for L isomers: put the hydrogen towards you and read off CO R N clockwise around the C This works for all amino acids.

Cahn - Ingold - Prelog system
Can give absolute configuration nomenclature to multiple chiral centers.
Priority
Atoms of higher atomic number bonded to a chiral center are ranked above those of lower atomic number with lowest priority away from you R highest to lowest = clockwise, S highest to lowest = counterclockwise
SH>OH>NH2>COOH>CHO>CH2OH>C6H5>CH3>H

Newman Projection
• A projection formula representing the spatial arrangement of bonds on two adjacent atoms in a molecular entity.
• The structure appears as viewed along the bond between these two atoms, and the bonds from them to other groups are drawn as projections in the plane of the paper.
• The bonds from the atom nearer to the observer are drawn so as to meet at the centre of a circle representing that atom.
• Those from the further atom are drawn as if projecting from behind the circle.

The major advantage of the CIP or RS system is that the chiralities of compounds with multiple asymmetric centers can be unambiguously described
![Page 11: Molecular Biophysics Lecture 2 Protein Structure II](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061603/568135a6550346895d9d1555/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Prochiral substituents are distinguishable
Two chemically identical substituents to an otherwise chiral tetrahedral center are geometrically distinct.

Planar objects with no rotational symmetry also have prochariality
Flat trigonal molecules such as aldehydes can be prochiral With the flat side facing the viewer if the priority is clockwise it is called the (a) re face (rectus) else it is the (b) si face (sinistrus).

Peptide Torsion Angles
Torsion angles determine flexibility of backbone structure
![Page 16: Molecular Biophysics Lecture 2 Protein Structure II](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061603/568135a6550346895d9d1555/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Sidechain torsion rotamers
• named chi1, chi2, chi3, etc.
e.g. lysine
![Page 18: Molecular Biophysics Lecture 2 Protein Structure II](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061603/568135a6550346895d9d1555/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
chi1 angle is restricted
• Due to steric hindrance between the gamma side chain atom(s) and the main chain
• The different conformations referred to as gauche(+), trans and gauche(-)
• gauche(+) most common

HelicesA repeating spiral, right handed (clockwise twist)
helixpitch = p
Number of repeating units per turn = n
d = p/n = Rise per repeating unit
Fingers of a right - hand.
Several types , 2.27 ribbon, 310 , helicies, orthe most common is the helix.

The Nm nomenclature for helices
N = the number of repeating units per turn
M = the number of atoms that complete the cyclic system that is enclosed by the hydrogen bond.

![Page 26: Molecular Biophysics Lecture 2 Protein Structure II](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061603/568135a6550346895d9d1555/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Proline helixLeft handed helix
3.0 residues per turn
pitch = 9.4 Å
No hydrogen bonding in the backbone but helix still forms.
Solvent exposure of the carbonyl oxygen is favored in this confomation
Poly glycine also forms this type of helix
Collagen: high in Gly-Pro residues has this type of helical structure

Distortions of alpha-helices
• The packing of buried helices against other secondary structure elements in the core of the protein.
• Proline residues induce distortions of around 20 degrees in the direction of the helix axis. (causes two H-bonds in the helix to be broken)
• Solvent. Exposed helices are often bent away from the solvent region. This is because the exposed C=O groups tend to point towards solvent to maximize their H-bonding capacity

![Page 35: Molecular Biophysics Lecture 2 Protein Structure II](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061603/568135a6550346895d9d1555/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Parallel, Antiparallel and Mixed Beta-Sheets
![Page 36: Molecular Biophysics Lecture 2 Protein Structure II](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061603/568135a6550346895d9d1555/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Beta sheets are twisted
• Parallel sheets are less twisted than antiparallel and are always buried. • In contrast, antiparallel sheets can withstand greater distortions (twisting and beta-bulges) and greater exposure to solvent.
