Lysozyme cleaves between NAG and NAM residues in bacterial cell walls and is, therefore, classified as a(an) O A. salt bridge, oxidoreductase O B. peptide bond; hydrolase OC. glycosidic linkage; oxidoreductase O D. glycosidic linkage, hydrolase O E. peptide bond; transferase
The amino acid shown below has an ionizable side chain with a pka of 4. When this amino acid is in a more basic solution (i.e., pH 11), it would resemble ionization state C and have a charge of -1 HO OH NH₂ lonization state A NH3 lonization state C HO OH NH3+ Ionization state B dyb NH₂ lonization state D
What amino acids can be found in chymotrypsin’s specificity pocket? What would happen if one of those amino acids was changed to lysine? In relation to the amino acid in the specificity pocket, which peptide bond is cleaved; C terminal or N terminal? What is this bond’s proximity to the serine in the active site?
The mutation in hemoglobin at B82 Lys → Asp results in lowered O,-binding affinity compared to normal hemoglobin. B82 is one of the residues that lines the 2,3-BPG binding site (see Figure 7.29; B82 is adjacent to His143). Based on the location of this residue and the differences between Lys and Asp, sug- gest a rationale for the observed reduction in Oz-binding affinity.
Saccharide X, a sugar composed of repeating cellobiose and maltose, is a constituent of two glycoproteins, which are receptors that are found in a certain membrane. For the first glycoprotein, the saccharide is linked by a(1-2) linkages to three sialic acid residues, then O-linked to the glycoprotein. The other glycoprotein, on the other hand, has the saccharide linked by a B(1-3) bond also to three sialic acid residues, then also O-linked to the glycoprotein. The saccharide was cleaved from its sialic acid residues. The treatments and results are as follows: 1. hydrolysis by B(1-> 4) - disaccharide products 2. hydrolysis by a(1-> 4) - release of 2 disaccharide & 2 monosaccharide units. Show the structure of the saccharide.
Why does the dissociation constant change for hemoglobin in high and low 02 concentrations? O Hemoglobin is a tetramer and subunits have decreased dissociation of 02 when a neighboring subunit has bound 02 O Hemoglobin is a monomeric protein with increased dissociation of 02 when a neighboring molecule has bound 02 O Hemoglobin is a tetramer and subunits have increased dissociation of 02 when a neighboring subunit has bound CO O Hemoglobin is a tetramer and subunits have increased dissociation of O2 when a neighboring subunit has bound O2

If there was a molecule that causes Hb to be more stable in the T state, this molecule would: a. Generally, raise the affinity of Hb for O2 b. Generally, lower the affinity of Hb for O2 c. Generally, cause Mb to favor the R state while Hb is in the T state d. Generally, cause Hb to dissociate into αβ dimers
The formation of “hard” clots by factor XIIIa involves linking lysine and glutamine side chain residues in fibrin. Draw a representation of the cross-linked product of a reaction between these two amino acids.
Below is a list of hypothetical Hemoglobin variants. Circle the name of the variant that is most likely to show an increase in BPG binding. Does such a hypothetical variant cause an increase or decrease in hemoglobin's affinity for oxygen? A. Hb Miami: Leu is substituted with Pro in an alpha helix B. Hb California: Val is substituted with Lys at pH 7.0 C. Hb New york: Tyr is substituted with Met, which disrupts the hydrogen bonding at the a131 interface. D All of the above
A very new Hemoglobin variant, called Hb simplex, has just been identified in patients with hypoxia (i.e. patients for whom the oxygenation of organs is not properly accomplished). However, this variant is able to bind dioxygen with a Kd which is significantly lower to that of Hemoglobin from normal patients. This effect has been associated with the substitution of a Lys by a Met at two distinct sites of the b subunit of Hemoglobin : one site close to the N-terminus, and the other site close to the C-terminus of the polypeptide chain. Most importantly, these 2 sites are known to be involved in the maintain of the physical interactions between the subunits a and b in Hemoglobin. 1) The aforementioned Hb simplex mutations lead to a loss of physical interactions between the subunits a and b. What type(s) of chemical bonds between the 2 subunits (i.e. covalent, electrostatic, ion-dipole, dipole-dipole, van der waals) would you hypothesize to be affected by these mutations? explain. 2)…
