Textbook Question
Chapter 5.2, Problem 3CC
MAKE CONNECTIONS Aquaporins exclude passage of hydronium ions (H3O+), but some aquaporins allow passage of glycerol a three-carbon alcohol (see Figure 3.13) as well as H2O. Since H3O+ is closer in size to water than glycerol is, yet cannot pass through, what might be the basis of this selectivity?

(show calculation!)arrow_forwardIn a 0.1000 M acetic acid solution at 25 degrees celsius , the acid ionizes to the extent of about 1.34 %. Since each molecule of acetic acid which ionizes produces 1 H+ ion and 1 C2H3O2- ion, the concentration in the solution are: HC2H3O2 < -----------> H+ + C2H3O2-arrow_forward
- 6-One method to determine proximity of two locations in a protein molecule or protein complex is FRET. This technique uses fluorescence transfer between two fluorophores where the ability of the transfer to occur is correlated to distance between the two residues. A) On the following graph using colored pencils, pens, or markers draw the emission spectra from the donor and the absorbance spectra of the acceptor (this should be a general schematic, does not need to be a FRET pair). Include a key for your graph B) As a rescarch student in my group you want to study the proximity of two residues in clamp region of a protein. Draw a schematic of your protein and label the two locations of your fluorophores. In 2-4 sentences (or figures) explain how your FRET fluorophores would give determine if these two residues were close to one another.arrow_forwardPlease show stepsarrow_forwardALL ABOUT BIOCHEMISTRYarrow_forward
