Question
Chapter 12, Problem 17P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The ambiguities of using the hydropathy plots to determine whether the protein is a membrane protein needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
A graph that is named a hydropathy plot shows the location of an amino acid in a polypeptide and its hydrophobic/hydrophilic nature. This plot can be used to discover clusters of hydrophobic amino acids which show whether the specified polypeptide in the plot is a transmembrane protein or not.

structure. They provide the matrix or ground substance of extracellular tissue spaces in
which collagen and elastin fibers are embedded. Hyaluronic acid, chondroitin 4-sulfate,
heparin, are among the important glycosaminoglycans.
10. Glycoproteins are a group of biochemically important compounds with a variable
composition of carbohydrate (1-90%), covalently bound to protein. Several enzymes,
hormones, structural proteins and cellular receptors are in fact glycoproteins.
