- What qualitative effect would you expect each of the following to have on the Pgp of hemoglobin? (a) Increase in pH from 7.2 to 7.4 (b) Increase in Pco, from 20 to 40 mm Hg (c) Dissociation into monomer polypeptide chainsarrow_forwardJohann Thudichum, who practiced medicine in London about 100 years ago, also dabbled in lipid chemistry in his spare time. He isolateda variety of lipids from neural tissue and characterized and named many of them. His carefully sealed and labeled vials of isolated lipids were rediscovered many years later.(a) How would you confirm, using techniques not available to Thudichum, that the vials labeled “sphingomyelin” and “cerebroside” actually contain these compounds?(b) How would you distinguish sphingomyelin from phosphatidylcholine by chemical, physical, or enzymatic tests?arrow_forward19. What statement is correct regarding the synthesis of actin monomers? a) They would be synthesized on free ribosomes, with a mitochondrial localization sequence that would be recognized by a receptor on the mitochondrial membrane. b) They would be synthesized on free ribosomes, with a nuclear localization sequence that would facilitate its passage through a nuclear pore. c) They would be synthesized on free ribosomes, with no signal sequence. d) They would have a signal sequence on its N terminus that would be recognized by a signal recognition particle (SRP) in the cytoplasm that would dock it on the endoplasmic reticulum. e) They would be synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum, processed in the Golgi and sent to the nucleus in appropriated tagged vesicles.arrow_forward
- A) Upon entering the body, CH3H9+ reacts with cysteine to form a molecule that is able to pass through the blood brain barrier (BBB). Draw the structure of this molecule and purpose why it is able to pass through the BBB (Hint: think about another amino acid). B) The adduct formed in part A is very labile. On encountering selenocysteine, it can permanently inhibit it. Propose how the adduct from Part A inhibits selenocysteine and explain your answer.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements regarding adenosine phosphates is incorrect? a) ATP, ADP and AMP are all examples of adenosine phosphates. b) All adenosine phosphates contain a pentose ribose sugar. c) All phosphate ions in adenosine phosphates are joint together by a phosphoanhydride bond. d) All adenosine phosphates releases energy upon cleavage of phosphate group.arrow_forwardChoose ALL of the charged (+1 or -1) amino acids at aqueous physiological conditions where the ph= 7.0 A) Lysine (K) B) Alanine (A) C) Asparagine (N) D) Aspartic Acid (Q) E) Proline (P) F) Histidine (H)arrow_forward
- Which of the following is/are true about fluorescentmicroscopy?(a) Fluorescent microscopes use an infrared light source(b) Fluorochromes are sometimes necessary to visualizecellular structures or cells(c) Antibodies can be “tagged” with fluorescent mole-cules to help visualize and prove the presence of theircorresponding antigen or foreign substance, such as amicrobe in a blood sample(d) a, b, and c(e) b and c(f) None of the abovearrow_forwardCeruloplasmin is a blue-colored monomeric oxidase found in mamma- lian blood plasma. It contains multiple copper atoms per mole- cule. A ribbon representation of its three-dimensional shape is shown below: a) b) c) Identify any cofactor(s) which ceruloplasmin may possess. How do you know? Does ceruloplasmin act as an enzyme ? Describe the secondary, tertiary and quaternary structures of ceruloplasmin.arrow_forwardHemoglobin is considered to be a tetrameric complex with a 64 kDa (α β)2. When attempting to purify hemoglobin, we must first purify the α and β monomers (about 16 kDa each) to prepare the tetramer. This is formed from the dimer intermediate: 2 α + 2 β -> 2 αβ -> (α β)2. The graph given represents a size-exclusion chromatogram after the refolding of the hemoglobin tetramer Using the size-exclusion chromatogram given, 1. Draw an SDS-Page Gel with a reducing agent such as BME using the three peaks listed on the graph.arrow_forward
- A) describe in molecular detail how protonation of the histidine side-chain results in hemoglobin's lower affinity for oxygen. b) what value do you expect for the pKa of the histidine side-chain ionizable group?arrow_forwardImagine that a mutation has been discovered in the HBA1 gene, where amino acid residue # 1 in the alpha subunit is changed from valine to lysine. The structure of these two amino acids is shown below. How would this mutation affect the mobility of HbA in the gel?a) HbA with this mutation would have the same mobility as normal HbAb) HbA with this mutation would have the same mobility as HbSc) HbA with this mutation would have a faster mobility than normal HbA O d) HbA with this mutation would have a mobility somewhere in between HbS and normal HbAarrow_forward5)arrow_forward
