draw a “trans” and a “cis” peptide bond of alanine and threonine with the peptide bond lying in the plane of the paper. Draw a second view of each peptide bonds now looking down/along the peptide bond (i.e. one atom of the peptide bond will be in front and will obscure the second one behind it). Using a circular arrow, demonstrate how the torsion angle can be directly “read” from the picture. You can do this with an accuracy of ~10°. Provide an explanatory caption.
Using a copy of a helical wheel (attached to the end) plot the amino acids of the helix on the helical wheel. Is there any evidence of the helix as a whole being amphipathic or having a “sidedness"? Explain yes or no. Are the amino acid side chains in close proximity of one another or staggered to minimize steric hinderance between side chains? Explain the pattern you observe.

- Alanine has a strong tendency to form α-helix. A biochemist synthesized a polypeptide consisting of 300 alanine residues. When this polyAla300 was suspended in buffered water, it dissolved briefly and then formed a clumped insoluble precipitate that looked like cooked egg-white. Draw a cartoon (simple drawing) of the two different peptides, showing the structural organization of the polyAla300 as an insoluble precipitate, and the structural organization of the soluble (Ala30Gly5)10 polypeptide.arrow_forwardYou are in the process of determining theamino acid sequence of a protein and must reconcile contradictory results. In one trial, you determine a sequence with glycine asthe N-terminal amino acid and asparagine as the C-terminal aminoacid. In another trial, your results indicate phenylalanine as theN-terminal amino acid and alanine as the C-terminal amino acid.How do you reconcile this apparent contradiction?arrow_forwardAn a-Helix (or helices) is often found at anion binding sites of different proteins. Explain this observation using a schematic drawing of a-helix. Clearly indicate the direction of the dipole and the N-terminus of the helix. Show the structure of the functional group of the glutamic acid side chain in its (general) base form.arrow_forward
- what is the N and C terminal AA residue?arrow_forwardThe bacterially produced antibiotic gramicidin A forms channels in cell membranes that allow the free diff usion of Na+ and K+ ions, thereby killing the cell. This peptide consists of a sequence of Dand L-amino acids. The sequence of a segment of fi ve amino acids in gramicidin A is R-Gly-L-Ala-D-Leu-L-Ala-D-Val-R′. Complete the Fischer projection below by adding the correct group to each vertical bond.arrow_forwardConsider the peptides Pro-Gin-Val-Phe-His-Asp-Cys and His-Gln-Pro-Cys-Asp-Phe-Val. How do these two peptides differ? (Select all that apply.) The two peptides have different compositions. The two peptides have different isoelectric points. The two peptides have different titration curves. The two peptides differ in amino acid sequence. [References] If you were to have a mythical amino acid based on glutamic acid, but one in which the hydrogen that is attached to the y-carbon were replaced by another amino group, what would be the predominant form of this amino acid at pH 12 if the pK, value were 10 for the unique amino group? (Select all that apply.) Both of the carboxyl groups are deprotonated. The amino acid-carries a negative 2 charge. The amino acid carries a negative 4 charge. The amino groups are in the form -NH". Both of the amino groups are deprotonated.arrow_forward
- Imagine the main chain of a protein bends back on itself, so that two amino acid residues R, and R, come close to each other. In the table below are four possibilities for what R, and R, might be. In each case, decide whether a specific interaction could form between the residues. If a specific interaction could form, give the name of the interaction.

A specific cleavage of the intact peptide using chymotrypsin produces fragments with the following sequences:Fragment A: Glu-Gly-Lys-Phe Fragment B: Met-Ser-Leu-Arg Fragment C: Met-Val-Glu-Phe What is the polypeptide sequence? (You may use the three-letter symbol for each amino acid in the sequence).arrow_forwardIn the molecule of oligomeric protein there are 19 lysine residues. 12 of them may be easily acetylated with anhydrides of dicarbon acids (it react with NH2-groups). The acetylation of extra two residues of lysine will dissociate the protein to the subunits. The rest 5 lysine residues may be modified only after denaturation of the protein. Suggest, how many lysine residues are: a) on a surface of protein globule; b) inside globule: c) in a site which is responsible for the contact within subunitsarrow_forward
