if i have protein with 110kda and its cysteine joining with disulfide bond . and one cysteine acids per 100 amino when i heated at 85c it lost activity but if i cool it the activity will restore the questions are : how many disulfide bonds in this protein with explanation? and what is molecular basis to restore activity?
What is the approximate molecular weight of a protein with 682 amino acid residues in a single polypeptide chain?
Consider protein folding that results when the following components interact: Where the solution is at a pH of 7, green (thick-dotted line) represents aspartic acid (R group contains a carboxylic acid with pKa = 4), orange (thick-solid line) represents lysine (R group contains an amine with pKa = 10), and blue (thin-solid line) represents hydrophilic groups. Rank the three complexes in order from lowest to highest dissociation constants Kd (low Kd values correspond to good binding constants and low energy, while high Kd values correspond to low binding constants and high energy) as determined by intermolecular charge-charge interactions. For those complexes with charge-charge interactions being equal, look at the possibility for the formation of hydrogen bonds via carboxylic acid dimers (only possible when the carboxylic acid is protonated) which are low energy structures.
