Chapter 2, Problem 2P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The amino acid associated with the hydrophobic side chain needs to be identified.

Concept introduction:

Amino acids are organic compounds with both amino and carboxylic acid groups. The general formula of the amino acid is shown as follows:

NH3CH(R)COOH

Here, R group is different for different amino acids.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The amino acid associated with basic side chain needs to be identified.

Concept introduction:

Amino acids are organic compounds with both amino and carboxylic acid groups. The general formula of the amino acid is shown as follows:

NH3CH(R)COOH

Here, R group is different for different amino acids.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

Theamino acid associated with three ionizable group needs to be identified.

Concept introduction:

Amino acids are organic compounds with both amino and carboxylic acid groups. The general formula of the amino acid is shown as follows:

NH3CH(R)COOH

Here, R group is different for different amino acids.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

Theamino acid having pKa of about 10 in proteins needs to be identified.

Concept introduction:

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and protein plays a vital role in almost all biological processes. A huge proportion of our cells, tissue and muscles are made up of amino acids, means they carry out several significant bodily functions, like, providing cells their structure.

Interpretation Introduction

(e)

Interpretation:

The amino acid which is modified form of phenylalanine needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Amino acids are organic compounds with both amino and carboxylic acid groups. The general formula of the amino acid is shown as follows:

NH3CH(R)COOH

Here, R group is different for different amino acids.

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
How does a voltage-gated sodium channel work? Specifically, how and why does a change in voltage trigger their opening? Please be detailed
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? Please explain
