This document discusses amino acids and proteins of biological importance. It defines amino acids as organic acids that contain one or more amino groups. Proteins are formed from chains of 50 or more amino acids linked by peptide bonds. The document classifies amino acids and discusses the structures of proteins including primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary structure. It also addresses the denaturation and conformational classification of proteins.
Proteins are naturally occurring polymers made up of amino acids and linked together by peptide bonds.
Proteins are the most abundant organic molecules in the living system.
The term "protein" is derived from the Greek word proteios, meaning holding the first place.
These are nitrogenous organic compounds that have large molecules weight of one or more long chains of amino acids.
Proteins are made from 20 ɑ-amino acids. (chains of amino acids)
A single unit of amino acid is known as a monomer. When many monomers combine together, they form polymers.
Proteins are the macromolecules responsible for the biological processes in the cell. They consist at their most basic level of a chain of amino acids, determined by the sequence of nucleotides in a gene. Depending on the amino acid sequence (different amino acids have different biochemical properties) and interactions with their environment, proteins fold into a three-dimensional structure, which allows them to interact with other proteins and molecules and perform their function

Palestine last event orientationfvgnh .pptxRaedMohamed3
An EFL lesson about the current events in Palestine. It is intended to be for intermediate students who wish to increase their listening skills through a short lesson in power point.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
13. • Heterocyclic amino acids are those containing rings other
than phenyl ring and they include tryptophan, histidine,
proline and hydroxyproline.
• Aromatic amino acids are those containing aromatic ring
and they include phenylalanine,tyrosine,tryptophan.
14. Hydroxyproline and
hydroxylysine :are
formed by hydroxylation
of proline and lysine
respectively after the
synthesis of the protein.
Selenocysteine: is considered the
twenty first amino acid but it is
uncommon in proteins. It contains
selenium (se) in place of sulfur (S)
15. CLASSIFICATION OF AMINO ACIDS
• Amino acids can be classified into:
I. - chemical classification: according to their chemical structure.
II. - Polar or non-polar: according to the polarity of the side chain.
III. - Nutritional classification: according to their nutritional importance.
IV. - Metabolic classification: according to their metabolic fate.
16.
17. CLASSIFICATION OF AMINO ACIDS ACCORDING TO
POLARITY OF SIDE CHAIN (R-GROUP)
Un charged
polar
Charged
19. Proteins that contain all the
essential amino acids are of high
biological value, e.g. Milk and egg
proteins. Proteins that are deficient
in one or more of the essential
amino acids are of low biological
value, e.g. Zein of maize (deficient
in tryptophan).
20. METABOLIC CLASSIFICATION OF AMINO
ACIDS
I-pure ketogenic amino acids:
1. Leucine
2. Lysine.
II-glucogenic and ketogenic (mixed) amino acids:
1. Phenylalanine
2. Tyrosine
3. Tryptophan
4. Isoleucine.
III-pure glucogenic amino acids:
all amino acids except the members of the other two groups.
21. I- AMPHOTERIC PROPERTY
• Amino acids can react both with acids and bases, so they
are ampholytes.
• In acidic medium: they are positively charged (R-
NH3+).
• In alkaline medium: they are negatively charged (R-
COO-).
• At iso electric point (IEP): they form dipolar ions
(zwitterions) which are at pH 6.02 for all monoamino-
monocarboxylic amino acids. In this form, the amino
acid cannot migrate in electric field.
• So, amino acids are present in three forms according to
the pH Of the solution and the uncharged form is not
present at any pH.
22. II- PEPTIDE BOND FORMATION
• Dipeptide is formed by
condensation of the carboxylic
group of one amino acid with
the amino group of a second
amino acid (peptide bond
formation).Proteins are formed
of many amino acids linked
together by peptide bonds
24. DEFINITIONS
• Oligopeptides contain from 2 to 10 amino acids
• Polypeptides contain from 11 to 49 amino acids
• Protein molecule is formed of 50 or more amino acids.
• The molecular weight of proteins ranges from 5000 to
several millions.
25. BIOLOGICAL IMPORTANCE AND FUNCTIONS
OF PROTEINS:
1) provide the body with essential amino acids, nitrogen and
sulfur.
2) Enzymes are mainly protein in nature.
3) Many hormones are peptides or protein in nature (e.g.
Glucagon and insulin).
26. BIOLOGICAL IMPORTANCE AND FUNCTIONS
OF PROTEINS:
4) The ANTIBODIES (immunoglobulins) which play an
important role in the body's defensive mechanisms are protein
in nature.
5) Hemoglobin is a chromoprotein. It carries O2 from the lung
to tissues.
27. BIOLOGICAL IMPORTANCE AND FUNCTIONS
OF PROTEINS:
6) Plasma proteins are responsible for most effective osmotic pressure of the
blood. This osmotic pressure plays a central role in many processes e.g Water
distribution and urine formation.
7) Plasma proteins help the transport of many substances in the blood e.g. Lipids
forming lipoprotein complexes, hormones (e.g. Thyroid hormones) and minerals
(e.g. Calcium, iron and copper).
8) They form very important components of different types of cell membranes e.g.
Receptors and transporters.
29. I- Primary structure:
1. The primary structure refers to the
amino acid sequence of the
polypeptide chain.
2. The primary structure is held
together by peptide bonds,
3. The amino acid sequence of any
protein is specific to that protein.
30. I- Primary structure:
4. The polypeptide chain starts on the left side
by amino acid number 1, which contains a
free terminal amino group and termed N-
terminus amino acid. On the right side, at
the end, the polypeptide chain contains an
amino acid with a free terminal carboxylic
group and termed C-terminus amino acid.
31. I- Primary structure:
5. The synthesis of the polypeptide chain starts from
the N-terminus end toward the C-terminus.
6. The change of a single amino acid in the linear
order of the polypeptide chain may lead to
profound physiologic effects.
7. The genetic information present in DNA controls
the primary structure of proteins, which
determines the secondary and tertiary structures
that are essential for functions of proteins.
33. II- Secondary structure:
1. α-Helix
1. In α-Helix polypeptide, the backbone is tightly
coiled around the long axis of the molecule to form a
coil. The -helix is stabilized by intra-chain
hydrogen bonds, which are formed between NH
groups and C=O groups. Each peptide bond
participates in the hydrogen bonding. This gives
maximum stability to α-Helix .
2. The R-groups of amino acids project outwards of
the helix.
34. II- Secondary structure:
1. α-Helix
3. The R groups of some amino acids
can disrupt the α-helical structure e.g.
Proline, histidine, lysine,and glutamic
acid, due to formation of other types
of bonds as ionic bonds or their ring
structures disturb the helical
formation.
35. II- Secondary structure:
2.β-pleated sheet
1. The polypeptide chain is fully extended and the
chains line up side by side to form sheet and the side
chains are above or below the plane of the sheet.
From 2 to 5, adjacent strands of polypeptides may
combine and form these structures.
2. When the adjacent polypeptide chains run in same
direction (N to C terminus), the structure is termed as
parallel β-pleated sheet. When the adjacent
polypeptide chains run in opposite direction, the
structure is termed as anti-parallel β-pleated sheet.
36. II- Secondary structure:
2.β-pleated sheet
3. The β-pleated sheet is stabilized by inter-
chain hydrogen bonds.
N.B. β-pleated sheets may form between
different regions of the same polypeptide
chain, and will be stabilized by intra-chain
hydrogen bonds.
40. Chaperones
• Proteins must fold into defined three-dimensional structures to gain functional
activity.
• In the cellular environment, newly synthesized proteins are at great risk of
aberrant folding and aggregation, potentially forming toxic species.
• Chaperones (group of molecular proteins) use different mechanisms to promote
efficient protein folding and prevent aggregation.
• An age-related decline in chaperones allows the manifestation of various protein-
aggregation diseases, including alzheimer's disease and parkinson's disease.
41. DENATURATION OF PROTEINS
• Denaturation is a specific property of proteins.
• It is due to the rupture of chemical bonds that stabilize the
secondary, tertiary and quaternary structure of the protein.
• It may be reversible or irreversible and may result in protein
coagulation e.g. Albumin coagulation by heat (due to formation of
disulfide cross linkage).
42. FACTORS THAT PRODUCE DENATURATION :
1- physical agents:
1. Heat
2. Mechanical agitation
3. Sonication
4. Ultraviolet irradiation
5. X-ray
2 - chemical agents:
1. Acids
2. Alkalis
3. Alcohols
4. Urea
5. Salts of heavy metals like pb2+, ag2+,
cu2+
43. EFFECTS OF DENATURATION ON PROTEINS
1. Loss of the secondary, tertiary and quaternary structure of proteins.
2. Loss of biologic activity e.g. Inactivation of enzymes.
3. Loss of antigenic property i.e. Injection of denatured protein cannot induce antibody
formation within the body, in the contrary to the action of native proteins.
4. Increased viscosity.
5. Increased digestibility by proteolytic enzymes due to exposure of peptide bonds.
6. Decreased solubility due to exposure of nonpolar hydrophobic groups.
44. CONFORMATIONAL CLASSIFICATION OF
PROTEINS
• I- fibrous proteins: they consist of polypeptide chains that are arranged in a
parallel form along a single axis to yield long fibers or sheets.
a) Collagen
b) Elastin
c) Keratin.
• II- globular proteins: they are tightly folded into compact spherical or globular
shapes. E.g. Most of enzymes, hemoglobin, myoglobin, many hormones,
immunoglobulins and plasma proteins.
