Briefly explain your answer1. Most globular proteins are denatured and lose their activity when briefly heated to 65°C. However, globular proteins that contain multiple disulfide bonds often must be heated longer and at higher temperatures to denature them. Furthermore, upon cooling of the denatured proteins, the activity of these proteins can often be restored. Explain these properties.
- H8. Protein A interacts with biomolecule B and forms a complex AB, with a dissociation constant KD = 1 µM at 25 °C, (for dissociation, AB ⇋ A + B, KD=[A][B]/[AB]). The interface contains a phenylalanine residue. A biochemist mutated the phenylalanine of protein A to a tyrosine (A’), which introduced a hydrogen bond between the hydroxyl group of the tyrosine with B without affecting any other interactions. The formation of the hydrogen bond releases a heat at 11.4 kJ/mol. What is the KD of the complex of the mutant A’ with B?
