Consider a protein with five amino acids and three possible energy levels (separated by 1 J/mol) each amino acid can occupy.At what temperature will there be 45% of molecules in conformation A and 55% of molecules in conformation B?Comment on the size of this number and what distribution you would expect at room temperature. What does this mean about how "different" these energy levels are?Look back at the figure and propose an error made in reporting units. What energy unit would have likely been more appropriate in this case? state Astate B-332-1
