This problem concerns a "typical" tyrosine residue found on the surface of a globular protein. a) If the pKa of this residue is 10.1, at what pH will this residue be found in its deprotonated state in 99% of protein molecules? b) How would the presence of a neighboring negatively charged residue effect the equilibrium expression for the dissociation of tyrosine? c) Would the presence of the negatively charged residue raise or lower the pKa of this tyrosine? Justify and/or explain your answers in 1–2 sentences each for parts b) and c).

A heptapeptide was found to have an amino acid composition of Asp, Leu, Lys, 2 Met, Phe and Tyr. (a) Trypsin has no effect on the heptapeptide. (b) The phenyl thiohydantoin released by Edman degradation revealed phenylalanine in the N-terminus. (c) Brief chymotrypsin treatment yielded several products including a dipeptide and a tetrapeptide. The amino acid composition of the tetrapeptide was Leu, Lys, and Met. (d) Cyanogen bromide treatment yielded a dipeptide, a tetrapeptide, and free Lys. What is the amino acid sequence of this heptapeptide?

To visualize the spatial arrangement of amino acid residues in an a-helix, it is helpful to imagine you are looking down the long axis of the helix, just as you would look down a soda straw. Viewed in this orientation, the residues form a circle, with each residue offset from its neighbor by 100 degrees. This representation is called a helical wheel. Use the circle below to indicate the position of each residue around the helix of the enzyme lysozyme. NH ...Arg - Cys - Glu- Leu - Ala Ala - Ala Met-Lys COO- The first two amino acids, Arg-1 and Cys-2, are shown as an example. Arg-1 O Glu-3 Which amino acid in the polypeptide is the first to pass the origin (i.e., which amino acid passes Arg- 1 first, completing one full circle)? Select the best answer.

Describe the mechanism of action of 1 cycle of the ubiquitin (Ub) ligase system. Describe how the E1, E2 and E3 ligases work to covalently link Ub to the target protein, including which uses an energy source (and how), and the operative amino acids on the enzymes, Ub and target protein
The activity provides you with a version of the NGF pathway, an example of a RTK. All of the proteins involved can be in ON/OFF states. Using this cell signaling pathway you will be asked a variety of questions to determine how the molecules are regulated, but also how a cell would respond if this cell signaling party steps were interrupted or activated.

Shown below are two cartoon views of the small globular protein StrepG inwhich an α helix is packed against a four-strand β sheet. The sheet is madeup of two “β-hairpins” (a β-hairpin is a “β-turn-β” structure). Refer to theimages and answer the questions that follow: (a) Identify the locations of the N- and C-termini of StrepG.(b) Indicate the orientation of the helical macrodipole, showing the (δ+)and (δ-) ends of the macrodipole.(c) How many residues are in the helix?(d) Do you predict that the α helix and β sheet are amphiphilic or not?Briefly explain.(e) The following two peptides are part of the primary sequence of StrepG.Based on your answer to part (d), which one is more likely to correspondto the α helix? Which is most likely to be part of a β-hairpin? Explainyour choice.Peptide #1: DAATAEKVFKQYAND or Peptide #2: VDGEWTYDDATKTFTV
1. A) Explain this statement, “Most enzymes are gene-encoded proteins, but most enzymes are not only protein". B) You recently isolated a new enzyme in your lab, and you named it "lipidase 1120". As a temporary name, this is fine. Who is responsible for assigning a formal name, and on what criteria will that name be assigned?
