Chapter 4, Problem 1E
Summary Introduction

To determine: The amino acids that differ from each other by a single methyl or methylene group.

Concept introduction: The amino acids vary from each other due to the presence of different R groups. The amino acid properties depend on the R group. They often combine to form long chains of polypeptide, ultimately forming complex proteins.

Explanation of Solution

Amino acid is a basic structural unit of a protein. It forms a peptide bond by joining two or more amino acids. Amino acid consists of an asymmetrical carbon atom that is attached with an amino group, a hydrogen atom, a carboxylic group, and a side group (or R-group).

There are 20 standard amino acids. Proteins are made from these standard amino acids. The amino acids that differ from each other by a single methyl group or methylene group are glycine and alanine, serine and threonine, valine, leucine and isoleucine, asparagine and glutamine, aspartate, and glutamate.

I am a Biochemistry student and I am confused on how to analyze FRAP Analysis using Excel Spread Sheets. The following spread sheet has my 0 minute data listed at top and the 4 minute data listed on the bottom. Sheet: https://mnscu-my.sharepoint.com/:x:/g/personal/vi2163ss_go_minnstate_edu/EXjrCizWiXRPmpittqZA12IB8EkB5eE8iaRqj_iun-IAtg?rtime=Wo9zPHFY3Ug The formula for FRAP Analysis is: FRAP value = A (4 min sample) - A (0 min sample) over A (4 min 30 uM ascorbic acid) - A (0 min 30 uM ascorbic acid) multiplied by 30 uM and the dilution factor of 1/10
