SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein variant Wuhan Alpha Beta Delta Omicron KD, nM 60 9.6 2.4 1.2 2.4 Using the data from the table above, calculate the specificity factor (a) of the interaction between the ACE2 protein and SARS-CoV-2 variant spike proteins at [ACE2] = 1 nM. Assume that the concentration of each of the SARS-CoV-2 variant spike proteins is the same in the binding reaction. Show your work. Now calculate the specificity factor (a) of the same interaction at [ACE2] = 10 nM. Show your work.

Which of the following mutations would produce a form of the Ras protein that would be more difficult to inactivate than normal Ras? Briefly explain your reasoning.(i) A mutation that allows Ras to cleave (hydrolyze) GTP more rapidly than usual(ii) A mutation that causes Ras to bind Ras-GAP more tightly than usual(iii) A mutation that causes Ras to cleave (hydrolyze) GTP more slowly than usual

A C-terminal KDEL tetrapeptide was identified by “sequence gazing” as a possiblesignal for keeping resident ER proteins in the ER. This idea is now described in yourtextbook as established fact. What types of experiments do you think were performedto confirm that KDEL serves as an ER localization signal?
From experiments in which cells expressing normal myosin II heavy chain were altered to either lack (mhckA-) or overexpress (MHCKA ++) a myosin heavy chain kinase (MHCKA). For answering this question recall the earlier the variants on the myosin II heavy chain, in which three key threonines, normally subject to reversible phosphorylation, were altered in various ways: 3X Ser = Serines in place of Threonines 3X Ala = Alanines in place of Threonines 3X Asp = Aspartate in place of Threonines MHCKA is present at normal levels. Which of the two mutants (mhcp- or MHCP++) would be most likely to have a defect in cytokinesis?
. The mutation in hemoglobin at B82 Lys → Asp results in lowered O2-binding affinity compared to normal hemoglobin. B82 is one of the residues that lines the 2,3-BPG binding site. A rationale for the observed reduction in O2-binding affinity is: A. The positive charge on the Asp side chain can form salt bridges with other negative charged side chains stabilizing R-conformer. B. The negative charge on the Asp side chain can form salt bridges with other positive charged side chains stabilizing the T-conformer. C. The Asp side chain mimics the positive charge on BPG. D. The Asp side chain mimics the negative charge on BPG. E. The Asp side chain is a nucleophile that attacks the BPG. F. BPG attacks the Asp side chain. G. Stabilization of the R-conformer favors O, release. H. Stabilization of the T-conformer favors O, release.
