3. Protein & Peptides
PROTEINS: Proteins are the large organic compounds made of
amino acids arranged in a linear chain and joined together by
peptide bonds.
Protein > 50 amino acids
PEPTIDES: These are short polymers formed from the linking,
in a defined order of amino acids.
peptide < 50 amino acids

6. b) Secondary structure:
i) Alpha-helix
- Three dimensional arrangement of amino acids with the
polypeptide chain in a cork screw shape.
ii) Beta-pleated sheet
- Polypeptide chains are arranged side by side.

12. Denaturation
Denaturation refers to any nonproteolytic modification of the
unique structure of a native protein that affects definite
changes in physical, chemical and biological properties.
Denaturation leads to rearrangement and loss of quarternary
and tertiary structure and the hydrophobic and hydrogen
bonds are broken.
Conditions include:
Solvent changes
pH change
Alteration in ionic strength
Temperature rise

13. Adsorption
Proteins and peptides tend to absorb at interfaces such
as air-water and air-solid.
This leads to conformational rearrangement which may
cause loss or change in the biological activity.

14. Aggregation and Precipitation
Mechanism of protein aggregation involves protein
denaturation and noncovalent association via hydrophobic
residues.
Aggregation on a macroscopic scale leads to precipitation.
Conditions favour include:
Large air-water interface
Agitation of the solution
Presence of large headspace within the confines of
container.
Increase in thermal motion of the molecules due to
agitation.

15. CONCLUSION
This poses an urgent challenge to the pharmaceutical
industry to develop viable delivery systems for the
efficient delivery of these complex therapeutic in
biologically active form.
Much work needs to be done on the development of
viable delivery systems for non parenteral
administration to make peptide and protein
pharmaceuticals commercially viable and
therapeutically useful.
