Consider a short peptide that forms an alpha-helix within a larger protein structure. Suppose that one glutamate residue at some specific position in the helix were mutated to a leucine residue. The mutation could either make the helix more stable, or less stable. i) Describe two situations in which a Glu-to-Leu mutation could make the helix more stable. ii) Describe two situations in which the Glu-to-Leu mutation could make the helix less stable. Explain briefly the basis for the stabilizing and destabilizing effect in all cases.
SYNZIPS are a-helices that can be used in synthetic biology to create coiled-coil interactions between two different proteins. SYNZIP1 is around 47 amino acids in length.

Amino acids project from each polypeptide backbone in a β-sheet in an alternating fashion (oneabove the plane and the next below the plane – see Fig 3.8B). Consider the following proteinsequence: Leu-Lys-Val-Asp-Ile-Ser-Leu-Arg-Leu-Lys-Ile-Arg-Phe-Glu.a. Is there a pattern to these amino acids? If so, what is it? b.

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.
