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.
Which of the following is an example of protein denaturation? * A. Amino acids fold into repeating patterns due to hydrogen bonding of the peptide backbone. B. Several amino acids are joined together together via peptide bonds. C. A protein binds with with a substrate, lowering the activation energy of reaction. D. A protein is exposed to extremely high heat, causing it to lose its secondary structure and be left with only its primary structure. E. Results to unfolding, partial or incomplete disorganization of the protein's secondary and tertiary structure.
