- Consider a protein in which a negatively charged glutamic acid side chain (pKa = 4.2) makes a salt bridge (ion-ion interaction) with a positively charged histidine side chain (pKa = 6.5). Part A Do you predict that this salt bridge will become stronger, become weaker, or be unaffected as pH increases from pH = 7.2 to pH = 7.8? The salt bridge will become stronger. The salt bridge will become weaker. The salt bridge will be unaffected. Submit Part B Previous Answers Correct At pH = 7.2 the glutamic acid (Glu) side chain will carry a charge of ~ -1 (at 3 pH units above the pKa for Glu, the side chain will be almost fully ionized); whereas the histidine (His) side chain will carry a charge of < +0.5 (at pH = pK₂ the charge on His would be +0.5; since pH = 7.2 is above its pKa, it will carry less (+) charge as it becomes more deprotonated). As the pH increase to 7.8, the charge on Glu will remain ~ -1 and the charge on His will decrease; thus, this salt bridge is predicted to become weaker…arrow_forwardA researcher isolates a new protein and finds that it contains 0.755% serine by weight upon amino acid analysis. The molecular mass of serine is 105 g.mol-¹. What is the minimum molecular mass for the protein assuming only one Ser residue per protein molecule? mmin = The researcher estimates the molecular mass of the protein using gel electrophoresis. From this estimated molecular mass, the researcher concludes the protein contains 3 Ser residues. What is the estimated molecular mass of the protein as shown by gel electrophoresis? g.mol-¹ mest = g.mol-1arrow_forwardShow the approximate position of the indicated four amino acids following electrophoresis. Here you have to consider both the polarity and the value of the total net charge of the amino acid. Assume that an amino acid with a net charge of +2 will migrate twice as far towards the minus pole as an amino acid with a net charge of +1. To provide some guidance on how to indicate the amino acids, we show in the image the migration of an example amino acid with unknown net charge; you do not have to consider its migration behaviour in your decision to place the four amino acids.arrow_forward

Propose a plan using steps to purify this protein. Basic rules: Affinity chromatography (e.g. His Tag purification) is not an allowed step because these proteins are in their native state (i.e. – do not have a polyhistidine tag). Also, you are not allowed to rely solely on the color of certain proteins (e.g. cytochrome C and GFP) in your characterization/proposal. You are allowed to buffer exchange (i.e. – switch buffers) but try to keep your pH’s in a reasonable range (5.5 – 8.5) or you risk denaturing your protein. Assume proteins with the same charge (positive or negative) are not easily separated using IEC. Assume all proteins can be resolved/visualized on an SDS-PAGE gel.
