and Arg29 is important in determining the structure of the protein. a) What type of amino acid is Asp (acidic, basic, hydrophobic, or polar)? b) What type of amino acid is Arg (acidic, basic, hydrophobic, or polar)? c) What is the strongest interaction that can form between Asp123 and Arg29? You create a mutant Arg29→ Lys d) What type of amino acid is Lys (acidic, basic, hydrophobic, or polar)? e) Would you expect this substitution mutation to cause major folding problems? Why or why not? You create mutant Arg29→ Glu you discover that this mutant is unable to fold properly, so the protein is nonfunctional. f) What type of amino acid is Glu (acidic, basic, hydrophobic, or polar)? g) How does this amino acid substitution cause the protein to fold incorrectly? You find another mutant that also as the same Arg29> Glu mutation. However, this mutant protein is able to fold normally. Intrigued by this discovery, you decide to examine this mutant more closely and discover that it has acquired a second substitution mutation at the Asp123 position. h) What amino acid(s) could be substituted for Asp123 that would allow Prot1 to retain its proper shape and function? Justify your answer

1) The plot to the right shows the Oxygen Saturation of Hemoglobin (Hb) versus O2 concentration. a) The Kd between HBa and HBB chains is 100 nM. When L35S mutation (Leucine 35 → Serine) is introduced into the Hba chain the Kd changes to 300 mm. \^^^^^A^A Draw a dashed curve on the figure to the right that represents how this mutation would likely change the curve. Note: that I am asking for how a change in affinity between HBa and HBB chains will impact HB binding to O2 1.00 0.75- HB Y 0.50 HBa L35S HBa L35S D101P 0.25 0.00 0 2 4 po₂ (kPa) 6 b) How might this specific mutation alter the interaction between HBa and HBB chains? I am asking you to predict what Leu specifically might be doing here. 8 c) Now imagine that a second mutation is added to the HB¤ L35S mutant to generate an HBa L35S D101P double mutant. A measure of the double mutant shows that it has a Kg = 2 kPa, but does not change the binding of HBa and HBB. Draw a dotted line on the figure above that shows the resulting…

The amide hydrogen atoms of peptide bonds within proteins can exchange with protons in the solvent. In general, amide hydrogen atoms in buried regions of proteins and protein complexes exchange more slowly than those on the solvent-accessible surface do. Determination of these rates can be used to explore the proteinfolding reaction, probe the tertiary structure of proteins, and identify the regions of protein–protein interfaces. These exchange reactions can be followed by studying the behavior of the protein in solvent that has been labeled with deuterium ( ²H), a stable isotope of hydrogen. What two methods described in this chapter could be readily applied to the study of hydrogen– deuterium exchange rates in proteins?
