Chapter 16, Problem 13P
Interpretation Introduction

To calculate:

The Force exerted over the given step size for Kinesin 1, Myosin V and Dynein.

Introduction:

Released energy by the hydrolysis of ATP is utilized for the movement of various proteins. There are three proteins named in the table 16.2, Kinesin 1, Myosin V and Dynein. Their average step sizes are 8 nm, 36 nm and 28 nm respectively.

Extracts from the bacterium Bacillus brevis contain a peptide with antibiotic properties. This peptide forms complexes with metal ions and seems to disrupt ion transport across the cell membranes of other bacterial species, leading to bacterial death. The structure of the peptide has been determined from a series of observations. (a) Complete acid hydrolysis of the peptide, followed by amino acid analysis, yielded equimolar amounts of Leu, Orn, Phe, Pro, and Val. Orn is ornithine, an amino acid not present in proteins but present in some peptides. Orn has the structure H 'H,N-CH, - CH2 CH2 CH2 - C - COO- NH, (b) The molecular weight of the peptide is approximately 1,200 Da. (c) The peptide failed to undergo hydrolysis when treated with the enzyme carboxypeptidase. This enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of the carboxyl-terminal residue of a polypeptide unless the residue is Pro or the peptide does not contain a free carboxyl group. (d) Treatment of the intact peptide with…
At a pH equal to the isoelectric point (pl) of alanine, the net charge of alanine is zero. Two structures can be drawn that have a net charge of zero, but the predominant form of alanine at its pl is zwitterionic. CH3 H,N CH3 ** H¸N-C H Zwitterionic H Uncharged OH Select statements that explain why alanine is predominantly zwitterionic at its pl. pk of alanine's amino group is more than its pl. pk of alanine's carboxyl group is more than its pl. PK of alanine's carboxyl group is less than its pl. pk of alanine's amino group is less than its pl. Correct Answer What fraction of alanine is in the completely uncharged form at its pl? 1 in 2.2 × 107 1 in 1.6 × 10² 1 in 4680 1 in 9460
