Proteins

We generally tend to think of proteins only from a dietary lens, as a component of what we eat. However, they are among the most important and abundant organic macromolecules in the human body, with diverse structures and functions. Every cell contains thousands and thousands of proteins, each with specific functions. Some help in the formation of cellular membrane or walls, some help the cell to move, others act as messages or signals and flow seamlessly from one cell to another, carrying information.

Protein Expression

The method by which living organisms synthesize proteins and further modify and regulate them is called protein expression. Protein expression plays a significant role in several types of research and is highly utilized in molecular biology, biochemistry, and protein research laboratories.

In fact, immunoglobulin G consists of two identical copies of the heavy chain and two identical copies of the light chain. However, the early researchers did not know the exact number of chains or how they were arranged. Draw a simple diagram of an alternative quaternary structure for immunoglobulin G, showing how the heavy and light chains might be arranged and connected by disulfide bonds to form a structure with a total molecular mass of 150,000.
Classify the symmetrical arrangement ofthe subunits (e.g., C2 , C3 , D 2 , helical, icosahedral). 1. Proteobacterial nitrite sensor (3PNS):2. Pseudomonad oligosaccharide receptor (7POR):3. Adenoviral structural protein (8ASP)

Antibodies are effective against bacteria as well as viruses, but some bacteria produce an enzyme that cuts immunoglobulin G molecules right at the “bend” to separate each antigen-binding “arm” from the “stem.” (a) What type of bond is broken by the bacterial enzyme and what type of reaction does this enzyme catalyze? (b) Would the action of the bacterial enzyme affect the ability of immunoglobulins to cross-link bacterial cells?.
Each immunoglobulin (Ig) domain is composed of a structure known as a ‘b-sandwich,’ which consists of two b sheets covalently linked by a disulfide bond. Only a subset of the ~110 amino acids in each domain are required to establish this overall structure, and it is these amino acids that are highly conserved when comparing Ig domains to each other. What might be the advantage of this structure for use as antibody variable domains?
1. The T conformation of hemoglobin is stabilized (in part) by a hydrogen bonding interaction between the negatively-charged carboxylate group of the side chain of Asp99 in the β-subunit of one αβ dimer and the -OH group of the side chain of Tyr42 in the α-subunit of the opposing αβ dimer. Draw a diagram of this hydrogen bonding interaction (show complete side chains). 2. In an abnormal hemoglobin variant known as Hemoglobin-Radcliffe, the Asp99 residues in the β-subunits are replaced by alanine residues. This change eliminates the hydrogen bonding interaction that normally occurs between Asp99 in the β-subunit of one αβ dimer and Tyr42 in the α-subunit of the opposing αβ dimer. a) What effect would you expect this change to have on the quaternary structure and oxygen binding properties of hemoglobin? (see question 1) b) Draw a diagram to illustrate the difference in the oxygen binding curves that would be obtained with normal hemoglobin and Hemoglobin-Radcliffe.
Typical symptoms of COVID-19 include: (1) fever (83-98%), (2) cough (46-82%), (3) muscle pain or fatigue (11-44%), (4) shortness of breath (31%), and in some severe cases, (5) acute respiratory failure, (6) secondary infection and (7) interferon gamma-related cytokine storm. Pick 3 of the above symptoms, and explain why the patients may have these symptoms.

Define the following terms: a. intrinsically disordered protein b. intrinsically disordered region c. prosthetic group d. apoprotein e. molecular chaperone
The ends of each heavy chain and light chain in an immunoglobulin make up the antigen-binding sites. The end of one of these chains is shown here. Biochemists tend to classify protein structures into four groups: mostly alpha, mostly beta, mixed alpha and beta, or neither alpha nor beta. Based on the model shown here, how would you classify this part of the immunoglobulin protein? The loopy polypeptide segments at the very top of the structure shown are the segments that actually contact the antigen. Would you expect these binding segments to be rigid or flexible?
