Chapter 19, Problem 19RQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The structure and the function of the signal recognition particle (SRP).
Introduction:
Once proteins are synthesized as a polypeptide comprising of 70 amino acids, they are destined to their respective locations. This process was given by Gunter Blobel in 1975 as the signal hypothesis. The site of protein synthesis is the ribosomal endoplasmic reticulum (RER).They are then transported to different locations.

The carbon-nitrogen peptide bond is rigid, but rotation can take place
about the bond between the nitrogen and a-carbon atoms and the bond
between the a-carbon and the carbonyl carbon atom. These bond angles

Why do these amino acids with the same number and kinds of atoms have different helix-forming tendencies? L-isoleucine's methyl group sterically interferes with α-helix formation, whereas L-leucine's methyl group does not interfere. L-isoleucine lacks an NH group that can donate a hydrogen bond to stabilize an a helix, whereas L-leucine has an NH group. L-isoleucine contains a hydrogen-bond acceptor in close proximity to the main chain, whereas L-leucine lacks this group. L-isoleucine's ring structure prevents it from assuming the op value to fit into an a helix, whereas L-isoleucine does not have a ring structure.arrow_forward

- In their famous experiment, Matthew Meselson and Franklin Stahl grew E. coli cells in a medium containing only the "heavy" isotope of nitrogen, 15N. These cells were then transferred to a medium with the "light" isotope of nitrogen, 14N. The results of the experiment supported the hypothesis of semiconservative replication, which was proposed by Watson and Crick. Heavy DNA (15N DNA), hybrid DNA, and light DNA (14N DNA) can be separated by centrifugation. If cells containing 15N DNA are transferred to a medium with only 14NH4Cl as a nitrogen source, what percentage of daughter molecules are composed of hybrid DNA after 3 generations? daughter molecules composed of hybrid DNA: Predict what percentage of daughter molecules would be composed of hybrid DNA if DNA exhibited conservative replication (i.e., if a daughter DNA molecule were composed of only newly synthesized DNA). daughter molecules composed of hybrid DNA: % %arrow_forwardWhich of these amino acids have R groups that have hydrogen-bonding potential?

Proteins are visualized using a dye that binds to the gel matrix, but not to proteins. Protein-SDS complexes have similar mass to charge ratios; therefore, separation is by size. Proteins are separated in a polyacrylamide gel matrix. Protein-SDS complexes migrate toward the negative electrode. Smaller proteins migrate faster through the polyacrylamide gel. Sodium dodecyl sulfate binds proteins, resulting in SDS-protein complexes that are similar in size.arrow_forward
