Question
Chapter 31, Problem 13P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation :
The common attribute between the less susceptible amino acid and the more susceptible group needs to be discussed.
Concept Introduction :
Amino acids are compounds containing amino as well as acidic group. The general molecular structure of an amino acid is as follows:
Here, R is different group for different amino acids. If there is more than one amino group present in an amino acid, they are considered as basic amino acids and if there is more than one carboxylic group then they are considered as acidic amino acids.

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.
