You are using mass spectrometry to determine the molecular weight of a peptide, which has multiple peaks (each represents an M/Z value) during the detection. You obtain M/Z values of 305 and 609 for two of these peaks. What is the molecular weight of the peptide: 8. a. 152 b. 153 C. 305 d. 608 е. 1217

The amino acid leucine has an Rf value of 0.73 and arginine has an Rf value of 0.20. Draw their structures of leucine and arginine. Then provide an explanation of their Rf value based on their structures
True or false and why is false 8 Structures produced by X-ray diffraction are as good as the solutions from which they are derived 9 Hard keratins (such as in the skin) are less resistant to stretch because the larger number of disulfide bonds resist deformative forces. 10 The vast majority of structures deposited in the Protein Databank (>95%) have been determined using NMR
An amino acid mixture of phenylalanine, glycine and glutamic acid is to be separated bypaper chromatography. The solvent is less polar than water. Which of these amino acids will have the highest Rf value and which the lowest? Explain. Treatment of a new protein with dansyl chloride reveals two (2) dansyl-labelled derivatives of amino acids, alanine and methionine. What can you deduce about the structure of the protein from these results? Name the amino acids that contribute atoms to both purine and pyrimidine rings.
One of the most advanced methods for determining a protein sequence is tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). Select from the list of statements below all that applies to MS/MS. Group of answer choices CID is one way of performing tandem MS experiments The experiment start by chopping the protein into smaller peptide fragments using an enzyme These peptide fragments are later introduced into the mass spectrometer to determine their molecular weight Peptide fragments are selected for further fragmentation by collision with an inert gas There are only 4 types of ions which can result from MS/MS fragmentation: a, b, x, and y ions The a and b ions are the ones with the original C terminus, whereas the x and y ions are the ones with the original N-terminus All of the above
According to the paper, F486 is a phenylalanine residue (i.e., an amino acid that is part of a chain that forms a protein) on SARS-CoV-2. It has an important interaction with ACE2 (best seen in Fig. 1(C) and Fig. 2(A)). Looking at this phenylalanine and the green residues surrounding it, which statement best describes the interaction that could be occurring? a) It forms a hydrogen bond with Y83. b) It forms a dipole-dipole interaction with M82. c) It forms London dispersion forces with surrounding residues. d) It encounters repulsions from surrounding residues.
(b) Describe how the charge of some amino groups in a protein might differ at pH 9.0 and pH 5.0. the charge on the amino group will differ at pH 5 and pH 9 which will depend on the pKa of the amino acid. (c) Describe how the charge of some carboxyl groups in a protein might differ at pH 9.0 and pH 5.0. charge on carboxyl group will differ at pH 5 and pH 9 which will depend on the pKa of the amino acid. (d) Given your answers to parts (b) and (c), what kind of intramolecular interactions in beta-galactosidase are most likely to be affected by a change in pH from 9.0 to 5.0? (e) Could the interactions you mention in part (d) affect the catalytic activity of beta-galactosidase?
A chemically modified guanidino group is present in cimetidine (Tagamet), a widely prescribed drug for the control of gastric acidity and peptic ulcers. Cimetidine reduces gastric acid secretion by inhibiting the interaction of histamine with gastric H2 receptors. In the development of this drug, a cyano group was added to the substituted guanidino group to alter its basicity. Do you expect this modified guanidino group to be more basic or less basic than the guanidino group of arginine? Explain.
