Which of the following statements best describe(s) the mechanism by which correct protein folding takes place once the misfolded protein binds the open ring of groEL? Select all that apply. The groEL ring closes to isolate the protein and provide enough time for the protein to properly fold on its own. b and d The groEL ring closes to provide a hydrophilic space to isolate the protein and inhibit its aggregation with others until properly folded. The groEL ring closes to isolate the protein and provide steric hindrance that mechanically refolds the protein. The groEL ring closes to isolate the protein and decode the information necessary to achieve the correct three-dimensional structure. None of the above I picked "The groEL ring closes to provide a hydrophilic space..." but it was incorrect..

The inhibitor and substrate cannot bind to the enzyme simultaneously.
Protein folding is critical for function because the properties of a protein arise from its overall shape and the distribution within that shape of the various amino acid side-chains. Which of the following statements about protein three-dimensional structure are correct? 1) the folding pattern of a protein is ultimately determined by its amino acid sequence. 2) proteins tend to fold in such a way that the hydrophobic amino acids are buried in the interior, while hydrophilic amino acids are exposed at the surface. 3) the chemical interactions within a protein molecule that support its overall folded structure are mostly covalent C-C (carbon to carbon) bonds between amino acid side-chains. 4) the overall folding pattern/shape of a protein molecule is termed its primary structure. 5) during evolution, the three-dimensional structure of a protein is often more strongly conserved than its amino acid sequence. More than one answer might be right
Which of the following statements are correct about protein structure (select all that apply)? A. Post-translational modifications such as glycosylation or phosphorylation may alter the structure of a protein B. Only amino acids with a net charge may interact with other amino acids C. The 3D structure of a protein is determined primarily by the protein backbone/main chain conformation while the amino acid sidechains play only a minor role. D. Hydrophobic interactions play a key role in protein folding E. Amino acid sidechains contribute to 3D structure through their ability to form hydrogen bonds with other amino acids

how does the protein environment surrounding an amino acid chain affect its chemical properties?Consider the carboxyl group on an asparate side chain in the following environments in a protein. Rank in order these environments from the highest to the lowest proportion of carboxyl groups in the -COO- form.that is in terms of pKas. 1. an aspartate side chain on the surface of protein with no other ionizable groups nearby. 2. an aspartate side chain buried in a hydrophobic pocket on the surface of a protein 3. an asparate chain in a hydrophobic pocket adjacent to a glutamte side chain 4. an asparate side chain in a hydrophobic porket adjacent to a lysine side chain.
Proper folding of proteins is essential for their biological activity. In general, the functional conformation of a protein is the conformation with lowest energy. This means that if an unfolded protein is allowed to reach equilibrium, it should assemble automatically into its native, functioning folded state. Why then is there a need for molecular chap- erones and chaperonins in cells? What different roles do molecular chaperones and chaperonins play in the folding of proteins?
Which intermolecular forces are important in acetic acid, CH3 –(C=0)-oh? A particular amino acid contains a- CHNH3+ group. Is this amino acid more likely to be found on the inside or the outside of the folded protein? Briefly explain. The addition of ethanol, CH3CHOH, t an aqueous solution lowers the surface tension of the solution. Predict whether adding ethanol to an aqueous protein solution will tend to stabilize or unfold the protein. Briefly explain.

Cite a particular protein that exhibits each function you have described and give the unique features of its primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary (if applicable) structures.
