- Refer to the molecular structure of Molecule 1 (attached image). This molecule forms a dimer via pi interactions, resulting to effective molecular stacking. If the molecule can inhibit toxic effects at 0.5mM against gastric carcinoma cells, does it mean that the dimer of this nucleoside analogue will exhibit an IC50 of about 0.25mM?arrow_forwardAn enzyme that catalyzes disulfide– sulfhydryl exchange reactions, called protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), has been isolated. PDI rapidly converts inactive scrambled ribonuclease into enzymatically active ribonuclease. In contrast, insulin is rapidly inactivated by PDI. What does this important observation imply about the relation between the amino acid sequence of insulin and its threedimensional structure?arrow_forwardPropose a method to determine the size and basic structure of chymotrypsin for the purpose of determining if there are possibly any structural irregularities with the enzyme?arrow_forward
- Phosphoproteins are formed when a phosphate group is esterified to an -OH group of a Ser, Thr, or Tyr side chain. At typical cellular pH values, this phosphate group bears two negative charges (-OPO32-). Compare this side-chain modification to the 20 side chains of the common amino acids found in proteins and comment on the novel properties that it introduces into side-chain possibilities.arrow_forwardDraw the titration curves for the following AA’s: Aspartic acid, Alanine, Lysine, Valine, Serine, and Trrosine.arrow_forwardConsidering the formation of glycosidic linkages between monosaccharides, how many possible trisaccharides can be produced by combining glucose, mannose and galactose? How does this differ from the number of possibilities for a tripeptide composed of three different amino acids?arrow_forward
- It is important to note that galactose is an important component of glyco- proteins. What is the effect on glycoprotein synthesis in case of galactosemic patients who are not given galactose in their diet? Explain this observation.arrow_forward3.1 Illustrate the relationship between the following: Vitamin E, Vitamin C, Glutathione, alpha-lipoic acid, and Niacin.arrow_forwardTrypsin, a peptidase that hydrolyzes polypeptides, functions in the small intestine at an optimum pH of 7.7–8.0. How is the rate of a trypsin-catalyzed reaction affected by each of the following conditions?arrow_forward
- Draw the following sugars using Haworth projections:a. b-d-galactopyranose b. a-d-tagatopyranose c. a-l-glucopyranosearrow_forwardCompare and contrast lactose intolerance with galactosemia.(Hint: Make a table.)arrow_forwardProvide the precise chemical description (anomer, isomer, and ring form) of the mono-saccharide subunits that are forming the tri-saccharide sugar molecule. Note the indicated numbering of the carbon atoms for the middle and the right subunit. Research the generic name of the tri-saccharide once you have identified the mono-saccharide subunits. Left subunit: Middle subunit: Right subunit: Name of sugar: b) Provide the precise chemical description of the two bonds that connect the sugar subunits?arrow_forward
