Textbook Question
Chapter 22, Problem 71P
A chemist wanted to test his hypothesis that the disulfide bridges that form in many proteins do so after the minimum energy conformation of the protein has been achieved. He treated a sample of an enzyme that contained four disulfide bridges with 2-mercaptoethanol and then added urea to denature the enzyme. He slowly removed these reagents so that the enzyme could re-fold and re-form the disulfide bridges. The enzyme be recovered had 8o% of its original activity. What would be the percent activity in the recovered enzyme if disulfide bridge formation were entirely random rather than determined by the tertiary structure? Does this experiment support his hypothesis?
