Chapter 5, Problem 16BO

(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The chains in the three-dimensional model correspond to the antibody fragment, and which correspond to the antigen, lysozyme.

Introduction:

Antibodies are the Y-shaped proteins which provide immunity to the body by neutralizing antigens such as bacteria and viruses. They are also known as immunoglobulins. On the other hand, an antigen is a foreign particle that induces the production of antibodies. These protein structures are the three-dimensional arrangement of atoms in a peptide chain.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The type of secondary structure that predominates in the Fab fragment.

Introduction:

An antibody is divided into two regions, Fab (antigen-binding) fragment and Fc (crystallizable) fragment. Fab fragment is a portion of an antibody molecule that binds to the antigen molecule.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The number of amino acid residues in the heavy and light chains of the Fab fragmentand also estimate the percentage of the lysozyme that interacts with the antigen binding site of the antibody fragments.

Introduction:

An antibody has a Y-shaped structure which is formed by the association of heavy and light chain. Both the chains contain an amino-terminal at the Fab portion, and a carboxy terminal at the Fc portion.

(d)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The specific amino acid residues in lysozyme and in variable regions of the Fab heavy and light chains that are situated at the antigen-antibody interface. Also determine whether the amino acid residues are contiguous in the primary sequence of the polypeptide chains.

Introduction:

Amino acid residue is the fundamental unit of a protein. Two or three amino acid residues are bonded together by peptide bond to form a peptide. A long chain of peptides called a polypeptide is linked through the peptide bonds resulting in a specific protein molecule.

The enzyme lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) catalyzes the conversion of pyruvate to lactatein skeletal muscle cells using NAD/NADH during anaerobic “balanced” fermentation.Answer the following questions about this reaction. (a) Write out the two reductive half reactions and indicate the E ̊' for each half reaction. Write out the full balanced reaction for the pyruvate to lactate rxn and indicate the ∆E ̊' for the reaction. (b) What is the free energy change under standard state conditions for thisreaction? Which direction is spontaneous?(c) Assume that in skeletal muscle cells the ratio of [NAD+] to [NADH] is 100, and that the[pyruvate] = 0.40 mM and [lactate] = 4.0 mM. What is the free energy change (∆G')for the conversion of pyruvate to lactate? Indicate the direction in which the reactionis spontaneous under these cellular conditions.
Why did the authors worry about the temperature-dependent solubility of the carriers in thebilayer? How did the authors determine whether the effect of freezing the lipid bilayer wasto decrease the solubility of the carriers (nonactin and valinomycin) or whether the effectwas to impair their ability to diffuse through the membrane (decrease their mobility)?
