The predominant forms of actin inside a cell are ATP–G-actin and ADP–F-actin. Explain how the interconversion of the nucleotide state is coupled to the assembly and disassembly of actin subunits.
A Leu →Ala mutation at a site buried in the core of the enzyme lysozymeis found to be destabilizing. Explain the observed effect of this mutationon lysozyme stability by predicting how enthalpy (ΔH°), conformationalentropy (ΔS°peptide), and the hydrophobic effect (ΔS°solvent) are expected to change for the mutant compared to wild-type lysozyme. Explain how ΔG°for unfolding is affected by your predicted changes in enthalpy or entropy.

See reaction scheme below. An example is the blood clotting protein Factor IX, which has 12 Glu in its N-terminus converted to Gla. This modification gives Factor IX the ability to bind calcium and phospholipid membranes. Bacteria do not have the enzyme required to convert Glu to Gla and therefore Factor IX proteins expressed in bacteria would not have the proper modifications. How might you engineer the translational apparatus of a bacterial cell line so that it produces Factor IX with Gla in the appropriate positions. How would you ensure that only the 12 Glu in Factor IX that are normally converted to Gla and not just all Glu (Limit 5-6 senetnces)?arrow_forward
