The titration curve of alanine shows the ionization of two functional groups with pK values of 2.34 and 9.69, corresponding to
the ionization of the carboxyl and the protonated amino groups, respectively. The titration of di-, tri-, and larger oligopeptides of
alanine also shows the ionization of only two functional groups, although the experimental pK values are different. The table
summarizes the trend in pK values.

Chymotrypsin is a protease with a molecular mass of 25.6 kDa. The figure shows a stained SDS polyacrylamide gel with a
single band in lane I and three bands of lower molecular weight in lane 2. Lane I contains a preparation of chymotrypsin and
lane 2 contains chymotrypsin pre-treated with performic acid.

2
Why does performic acid treatment of chymotrypsin generate three bands in lane 2?
°
Chymotrypsin self-digests on the carboxyl-terminal side of phenylalanine, tryptophan, or tyrosine residues.
The three peptides are impurities in the original chymotrypsin sample.
Performic acid cleaves proteins on the carboxyl-terminal side of lysine and arginine residues.
Performic acid cleaves the disulfide bonds holding together the three subunits of chymotrypsin.

- 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.

Specifically, how and why does a change in voltage trigger their opening? Please be detailedarrow_forward
- When sodium ions enter a neuron during depolarization, they trigger the opening of additional voltage-gated sodium channels nearby, creating a positive feedback loop where the influx of sodium ions further depolarizes the membrane, causing even more sodium channels to open and allowing more sodium ions to enter the cell, thus sustaining the depolarization process until the action potential peaks. But how and why exactly does the influx of sodium ions trigger more sodium channels to let in more sodium?
