1.0.1 mL of a protein solution of concentration of 11 mg/mL was diluted to a total volume of 4.0 mL with water (i.e. 0.1 mL of the solution was added to 3.9 mL of water). 2 mL of this solution was then mixed with 18 mL of water. What is the concentration of the diluted protein solution? Space to show your workings:
A peptide was analyzed with the following results. Whatis the primary sequence of the peptide? Briefly state the conclusions of each experimental result and indicate your logic. a)Mass spectrometry was consistent with a peptide of 7 amino acids containing W,C,D,M,N,K, and I. b)One cycle of Edman degradation of the peptide yielded a single product, the PTH derivative of I c)Cleavage of the peptide with CNBr yielded two products. One contained 5 amino acids, and the other 2. One cycle of Edman degradation yielded the PTH derivatives of Iand N, respectively. d)Treatment of the peptide with trypsin yielded 2 products. One of them had significant light absorbance at 280 nm, and Edman degradation yielded the PTH derivative of I. The other trypsin-generated product contained 4 amino acids, and Edman degradation yielded the PTH derivative of Asp.
Which of the following statements are False? (i) Parallel b-sheets characteristically distribute hydrophobic side chains on both sides of the sheet, and antiparallel B-sheets are usually arranged with all their hydrophobic residues on one side of the sheet. (ii) Planarity of the peptide bond means that no rotation occurs about the N-Ca bond while rotation is allowed about the C(O)-N and Ca-C(O) bonds. (iii) Silk fibers consist of fibroin proteins consisting of alternating A and G or S residues. (iv) If an aspartic acid residue were present in the interior of a globular protein, it would most likely be deprotonated and thus negatively charged.
1)Ubiquitin is a small protein with a monoisotopic mass of 8560 Da. a) Electrospray ionization of this small protein typically results in major charge states of +8, +9, +10, +11, +12, and +13. Using this information, complete the table below, assuming the charges on each come from protonation. Report mass and m/z values to the ones place. b) Using the data you entered in the table, sketch an expected ESI-MS spectrum for ubiquitin. Label each peak with its charge state. What do you notice about the spacing of peaks along the x-axis. c)The figure shows an experimentally obtained electrospray mass spectrum for ubiquitin. Compare this spectrum to the spectrum you predicted. Are there any differences? If so, what might cause these differences?
