(Research Problem) The Nature and Roles of Linear Motifs in Proteins In addition to domains and modules, there are other significant sequence patterns in proteins—known as linear motifs—that are associated with a particular function. Consult the biochemical literature to answer the following questions: 1. What are linear motifs? 2. How are they different from domains?. 3. What are their functions? 4. How can they be characterized? 5. There are several papers that are good starting points for this problem. Neduva, V., and Russell, R., 2005. Linear motifs: evolutionary interaction switches. FEBS Letters 579:3342-3345. Gibson, T., 2009. Cell regulation: determined to signal discrete cooperation. Trends in Biochemical Sciences 34:471-482. Diella, K. Haslam, N., Chica., C. et aL, 2009.

The Biosynthetic Capacity of Cells The nutritional requirements of Escherichia coli cells are far simpler than those of humans, yet the macromolecules found in bacteria are about as complex as those of animals. Because bacteria can make all their essential biomolecules while subsisting on a simpler diet, do you think bacteria may have more biosynthetic capacity and hence more metabolic complexity than animals? Organize your thoughts on this question, pro and con, into a rational argument. (Section 1.5)arrow_forwardAnswers to all problems are at the end of this book.

Solving the Sequence of an Oligopeptide From Sequence Analysis Data Amino acid analysis of a decapeptide revealed the presence of the following products: The following facts were observed: Neither car boxy peptidase A nor B treatment of the- decapeptide had any effect. Trypsin treatment yielded two tetrapcptides and free Lys. Clostripain treatment yielded a tetrapcptide and a hexapeptidc. Cyanogen bromide treatment yielded an octapeptide and a dipeptide of sequence NP (using the one-letter codes). Chymotrypsin treatment yielded two tripeptides and a telrapeptide. The N-terminal chymotryptic peptide had a net charge of — 1 at neutral pi I and a net charge of —3 al pH 12.
