The glycosaminoglycan polysaccharide chainsthat are linked to specific core proteins to form the pro-teoglycan components of the extracellular space arehighly negatively charged. How do you suppose thesenegatively charged polysaccharide chains help to estab-lish a hydrated gel-like environment around the cell? Howwould the properties of these molecules differ if the poly-saccharide chains were uncharged?
The following are sequences from three different alpha helices found inhuman proteins: hBak(72-87): GQVGRQLAIIGDDINR hCB1(196-210): VTASFTASVGSLFLT hCB2(248-262): LVLAVLLICWFPVL Classify each of these three helices as either a) mostly hydrophobic, b)mostly hydrophilic, or c) amphipathic. Use the helical wheel to explainyour answers. Given the character of these helices, in which part of the protein wouldyou expect them to reside?

Estimate the length, in nm, of the four identical beta-strands drawn in blue in panel (B) of the image below, if they consists of only the amino residues of the two alpha-helices highlighted in purple in panel (A) of the image below. Assume that the amino acid residues of the two alpha-helices combined were folded in four beta-strands of identical length.
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.

Both hsp60-like and hsp70 molecular chaperonesshare an affinity for exposed hydrophobic patches on pro-teins, using them as indicators of incomplete folding. Whydo you suppose hydrophobic patches serve as critical sig-nals for the folding status of a protein?
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,…
