Question
Chapter 24, Problem 9P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
A structural or functional role for the O-linked saccharide domain in the LDL receptor should be suggested.
Concept Introduction:
The LDL receptor in cell membrane is consisted with 839 amino acid residues and has five domains. Two of them have multiple subdomains. LDL binding domain at the N-terminal has 7 cysteine rich repeats. Other segment contains three epidermal growth factor repeats and ß propeller module. This segment is followed by a 58-residue segment of O-linked oligosaccharides, membrane spanning segment and another 50-residue segment protruding into the cytosol. LDL particle binds to the fourth and fifth cysteine-rich repeats.

Mechanism of C1,C2-diether and C2-monoether derivatives of lycorine with explanation
Globular proteins with multiple disulfide bonds must be heated longer and at higher temperature to denature them. Bovinepancreatic trypsin inhibitor (BPTI), having 58 amino acids in a single chain and 3 disulfide linkages, loses its catalytic activity whenheated at nearly 90°C for 5-10 minutes. Explain the molecular basis of this observed thermal property of BPTI relative to the nativestructure and function of the protein.
