Summary Introduction

To review:

The phenomenon of mutation in the IRS1(insulin receptor substrate 1) gene with obesity, which leads to a reduction in insulin sensitivity.

Introduction:

The insulin receptor comprises two large α-subunits and two β-subunits. α-Subunit binds to insulinthatleads to the activation of receptor tyrosine kinase activity. As a consequenc, ehe activation of receptor tyrosine kinase activity causes phosphorylation of several genes. Expression of more than 150 genes are altered by insulin binding, one of them is IRS (insulin receptor substrate 1).

what is a protein that contains a b-sheet and how does the secondary structure contributes to the overall function of the protein.
draw and annotate a b-sheet and lable the hydrogen bonding. what is an example that contains the b-sheet and how the secondary structure contributes to the overall function of your example protein.
Four distinct classes of interactions (inter and intramolecular forces) contribute to a protein's tertiary and quaternary structures. Name the interaction then describe the amino acids that can form this type of interaction. Draw and annotate a diagram of the interaction between two amino acids.
