Question
Chapter 14, Problem 2P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Whether SH2 domains bind phosphoserine and phosphothreonine with high affinity or not needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
SH2 is a type of structurally conserved protein which is contained within the Src onco protein and is also present in the signal transducing protein. It is a protein domain of around 100 protein residues.

- Consider a globular protein that contains an alpha-helix within it: a) Suppose there is a ligand binding pocket in this alpha-helix that contains residues of Leu (2), Phe (5), Gly (6), Ala (18), Tyr (22), Tyr (28), Gly (30), Cys (45), His (48) and Asp (49). What does this tell us about the likely nature or characteristics of a potential binding ligand? I said tha because 6/10 of the amino acids in this binding pocket are non-polar, that the ligand is also non-polar, but I think the question needs more description about the ligand. b) Briefly describe the driving forces and energetics behind folding of globular proteins (use terms like ΔH, ΔS, and ΔG) I said that H = -, S = +, G = - Folding driving force would likely be entropy change from non-polar residues interacting with a solvent (ex: water). Hence, non-polar residues would be buried in the globular protein structure from folding, causing entropy to increase for any liberated solvent molecules.
