(a)
To explain: Why the structure of amino-butyric acid is suitable substitution for Cys residue and under what circumstances it would not be suitable.
Introduction:
Protein is an essential bio-molecule which also serves as a building block of body. It helps in growth and development of the body. It is involved in the formation of hair, skin, muscle and connective tissue. The proteins are of four types: primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary.
(b)
To determine: The reasons to predict that a protein synthesized, denatured, and folded in this manner (dissolving it in 6 M guanidine HCl, and then allowed it to fold slowly by dialyzing away the guanidine against a neutral buffer) would not be active.
