Question
Chapter 31, Problem 5P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The maximum molecular weight for a spherical protein which can just fit into the cavity needs to be calculated.
Concept Introduction:
Spheroproteins or globular proteins are globe-like or spherical proteins and are one of the general protein kinds. Globular proteins are soluble in water, and form colloid within the water, unlike the membrane or fibrous proteins. There are several globular proteins’ fold classes, because there are several various architectures which can fold in the roughly spherical shape.

Under certain conditions, a specific protein has the following thermodynamic parameters for going from
the unfolded state to the folded state: AH = – 300 kJ/mol, and TAS = – 400 kJ/mol. Under those
conditions, the equilibrium would lie more toward
neither would predominate - the fraction of total protein that's folded would = fraction unfolded.

the unfolded state
O It is impossible to predict the position of the equilibrium from AH and TAS.

BAD functions as an aß heterodimer, and the a subunit (25kD) and ß subunit (75KD) are held together by an electrostatic interaction between K in the a subunit and D in the B subunit. You are trying to dissociate the BAD subunits to prevent pathogenesis in the bacteria. Which mutation would you make to prevent the BAD subunits from forming a dimer? Assume neutral pH.
