- Treatment of a polypeptide by 2-mercaptoethanol yields two polypeptides that have the following amino acid sequences: Ala-Phe-Cys-Met-Tyr-Cys-Leu-Trp-Cys-Asn Val-Cys-Trp-Val-Ile-Phe-Gly-Cys-Lys Chymotrypsin-catalyzed hydrolysis of the intact polypeptide yields polypeptide fragments with the following amino acid compositions: (Ala, Phe) (Asn, Cys2, Met,Tyr) (Cys, Gly, Lys) (Cys2, Leu,Trp2,Val) (Ile, Phe,Val) Indicate the positions of the disulfide bonds in the original polypeptide. I don't understand how the order of amino acids in Step 2 was arranged. Please explain. Thank you.In the protein adenylate kinase, the C-terminal region has the sequence Val-Asp-Asp-Val-Phe-Ser-Gln-Val-Cys-Thr-His-Leu-Asp-Thr-Leu-Lys-The hydrophobic residues in this sequence are presented in boldface type.Suggest a possible reason for the periodicity in their spacing.Considering the chemical characteristics of the amino acids valine and glutamic acid (see Figure 5.14), propose a possible explanation for the dramatic effect on protein function that occurs when valine is substituted for glutamic acid.

What would happen if one of those amino acids was changed to lysine? In relation to the amino acid in the specificity pocket, which peptide bond is cleaved; C terminal or N terminal? What is this bond’s proximity to the serine in the active site?
- Consider a globular protein that contains an alpha-helix within it: a) Suppose there is a ligand binding pocket in this alpha-helix that contains residues of Leu (2), Phe (5), Gly (6), Ala (18), Tyr (22), Tyr (28), Gly (30), Cys (45), His (48) and Asp (49). What does this tell us about the likely nature or characteristics of a potential binding ligand? I said tha because 6/10 of the amino acids in this binding pocket are non-polar, that the ligand is also non-polar, but I think the question needs more description about the ligand. b) Briefly describe the driving forces and energetics behind folding of globular proteins (use terms like ΔH, ΔS, and ΔG) I said that H = -, S = +, G = - Folding driving force would likely be entropy change from non-polar residues interacting with a solvent (ex: water). Hence, non-polar residues would be buried in the globular protein structure from folding, causing entropy to increase for any liberated solvent molecules. Not 100% sure if this is correct,…Draw a fractional binding curve for trimeric protien that has a binding site on each subunit. Moreover, the protein has a preferred low affinity conformation.Imagine 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 HbA
