Chapter 3, Problem 21P

(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The amino acid residues that are invariant in the given sequence.

Introduction:

Protein folding is a process, by which a protein molecule acquires biologically functional 3-D (three-dimensional) conformation from its random coiled structure. After translation, proteins have an unfolded linear chain of amino acids. This protein or polypeptide begins to fold into 3-D structure as it is synthesized within the ribosome. Chaperones are molecules that assist protein folding.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The positions at which the amino acids are limited to those with positively charged side chains and which amino acid predominates at each position

(c)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The positions at which the substitutions are restricted to amino acids with negatively charged side chains. Also, to determine the amino acid that predominates each position.

(d)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The position at which any amino acid can be occupied and the amino acid that appears most often.

Biochemistry What is the process of "transamination" in either the muscles or the liver, that involves keto acid or glutamic acid? Please explain how the steps work. Thank you!
Biochemistry Please help. Thank you What is the importance of glutamic acid in the metabolism of nitrogen from amino acids? (we know therole; it’s used to remove the nitrogen from amino acids so that the remaining carbon skeleton can bebroken down by the “usual” pathways, but what is the important, unique role that only glutamicacid/glutamate can do?)
Biochemistry Please help. Thank you When carbamyl phosphate is joined to L-ornathine, where does the energy for the reaction come from?
