Interpretation Introduction
To explain:
The formation of kinked a-helices by using the Active Model for ADP-ATP translocase.
Introduction:

Intramitochondrial ATP concentrations are about 5 mM, and phosphate
concentration is about 10 mM. If ADP is five times more abundant than
AMP, calculate the molar concentrations of ADP and AMP at an energy
charge of 0.85. Calculate AG for ATP hydrolysis at 37 °C under these condi-
tions. The energy charge is the concentration of ATP plus half the concen-
tration of ADP divided by the total adenine nucleotide concentration:
[ATP] + 1/2[ADP]
[ATP] + [ADP] + [AMP]
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.
What is the smallest number of molecules of ATP and GTP consumed in the synthesis of a 200- residue protein, starting from amino acids? Assume that the hydrolysis of PP i is equivalent to the hydrolysis of ATP for this calculation.

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
