INTRODUCTION
What is chemical biology?
‘ use of chemistry to advance a molecular understanding of biology and the harnessing of biology to
advance chemistry’
It is a relatively new field in which the synthesis of the biomolecules is crucial to study their function.
The central dogma on its own cannot explain life, for that we need to understand epigenetics and
post translational modifications (PTM) as well (ubiquitination, cleavage, phosphorylation etc.).
Reversible PTMs are installed by enzymes, whereas irreversible PTMs stem from environmental
factors. PTMs are often specific for amino acids →
Functions of PTMs include regulation of:
- protein maturation
- enzymatic activity
- cellular localization
- stability / turnover
- interactions with other molecules
The most complex PTM is glycosylation, for which
no direct blueprint is available. Glycans can
be N-linked (Arg) and O-linked (Ser or Thr).
50% of all proteins are glycosylated, 90%
of extracellular proteins are glycosylated.
N-glycan biosynthesis starts in the ER
lumen with GlcNAc, Mannose and
eventually Glucose. When proteins are
misfolded and remain in the ER lumen,
their glycan chain will degrade. This is
recognized which leads to elimination by
the ER-associated degradation pathway
(ERAD). The glycan processing continues in
the Golgi. From where proteins will go to
lysosomes or the extracellular
environment.
