A mutation that changes an alanine to a leucine in the nucleus of a protein leads to a less active one protein. However, the protein can be made active again by introducing another mutation into anotherpart of the protein where phenylalanine is replaced by alanine. How can it be thought of this othermutation leads to the activity being recovered?
One single polypeptide chain (120 amino acid residues) is produced for protein A in prokaryotic cell. N-terminal amino acid is alanine in the chain of this protein. How many moles of ATP and GTP will be in use for this polypeptide chain synthesis? What post-translational modifications may be for this protein?

- Pro-CHEMBIO peptide is a large peptide sequence with three disulfide bonds (indicated by the lines between cysteine residues). CHEMBIO Protease cleaves amide bonds between two basic amino acid residues to give the final peptide that is active in the body. The products of this protease reaction are: 1. Two chains that make up active CHEMBIO peptide, which contain the N- and C-terminus sections of the original Pro-CHEMBIO molecule 2.

- Explain how these mechanisms affect protein diversity.arrow_forwardTo visualize the spatial arrangement of amino acid residues in an a-helix, it is helpful to imagine you are looking down the long axis of the helix, just as you would look down a soda straw. Viewed in this orientation, the residues form a circle, with each residue offset from its neighbor by 100 degrees. This representation is called a helical wheel. Use the circle below to indicate the position of each residue around the helix of the enzyme lysozyme.

What amino acid residues of antithrombin III are likely to interact with heparin?arrow_forward

The following three mutations are among the 100+ mutations known or suspected of causing the disease. Context is provided in parentheses.

- Two proteins are discovered, and both are shown to have a potential in treating fatty liver disease. The structural differences of the proteins require them to be delivered using spherical nanoparticles made of different polymers. The scientists are trying to decide which protein will be more efficient to use in applications where a faster drug release is more favorable. Protein 1 is loaded into spherical nanoparticles made of polymer 1 which has R=100 nm at a concentration of 50 nM. Protein 2 is loaded into spherical nanoparticles made of polymer 2 which has R=250 nm, at a concentration of 50 nM. The partition coefficient of polymer 1 is 0.01 and is known to be half of partition coefficient of polymer 2. The diffusion coefficient of protein 1 in polymer 1 is 2x10-6 cm2/s, and diffusion coefficient of protein 2 in polymer 2 is 3.4x10-6 cm2/s. Determine which treatment will be selected for treatment of fatty liver disease.arrow_forwardGlycosylation is a major type of protein post-translational modification.

In a single beaker, you treat this peptide with 2 proteases. One protease cleaves at the N-terminus of aromatic R groups and the other cleaves at the C-terminus of polar, non-ionizable R groups. Following the enzymatic digestion, you want to separate your peptide fragments so that you can identify them. You choose to separate the fragments using an anion exchange column. Beginning at pH=6 you apply your peptide fragments to the column and you gradually decrease the pH of the column stopping the separation when the pH of the column equals 4. Omitting chemical structures, write the amino acid sequence of the peptide fragments that are produced from this digest. Write the order that these fragments will elute from the column (if at all). (Relevant pKa values are: 2.1, 3.8, 4.3, 8.3, 9.6, 10.1, and 10.5)arrow_forward
