Mutations that change a single amino acid in the activesite of an enzyme can result in the synthesis of wild-typeamounts of an inactive enzyme. Can you think of otherregions in a protein where a single amino acid changemight have the same result?
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?
Glycine is a highly conserved amino acidresidue in proteins (i.e., it is found in the same position in theprimary structure of related proteins). Suggest a reason why thismight occur.
Consider a protein with two surface-exposed histidine residues: HisA is a “typical” histidine residue with a pKa = 6.2 HisB is involved in a stabilizing interaction (His-NH+ ..... -O2C-Glu) with a neighboring glutamic acid residue. For HisB, the Gibbs free energy of deprotonation at pH = 7.0 and T = 293K is ΔG'o = +15 kj mol-1. If you had a solution, at pH = 7.0 and T = 293K, containing this protein: a) What fraction of HisA residues are protonated? b) What fraction of HisB residues are protonated? c) What is the pKa of HisB?
e) What would be the predominant ionization states of this amino acid at physiological pH (7.4) and at this pH, what would the ratio of these two states be (show the calculation)?

Understanding the Relevance of Chaperones in Protein Folding Protein molecules, like all molecules, can be characterized in terms of general properties such as size, shape, charge, solubility/hydrophobicity. Consider the influence of each of these general features on the likelihood of whether folding of a particular protein will require chaperone assistance or not. Be specific regarding just Hsp7O chaperones or Hsp7O chaperones and Hsp60 chaperonins.
1. In a protein, why does when Ala is replaced with Ile, it loses its activity but when Lys is replaced by Arg and Leu to Ile, it only has little effect on protein structure and function? Explain. 2. Why do proteins cannot be denatured reversibly when they are chemically altered to change the chemical composition of certain side chains? Explain.
