Textbook Question
Chapter 3, Problem 15PIAT
PROCESS OF SCIENCE AN-PEP was tested for its ability to digest gluten peptides in a system that mimics the human stomach. White bread was loaded into the artificial stomach with or without AN-PEP. The following graph shows the experiment results. Interpret the effect of AN-PEP on the accumulation of proline-rich gluten peptides. Explain why the peptide concentration increases in the negative control.

The first successful drug trial to reduce concentrations of huntingtin in the brain used single stranded DNA molecules.
Suggest and explain how this drug could cause a reduction in the concentration of the protein huntingtin.
A mutation that changes an alanine residue in the interior of a protein to valine is found to lead to a loss of activity. However, activity is regained when a second mutation at a different position changes an isoleucine residue to glycine. How might this second mutation lead to a restoration of activity?
Biochemistry，based on the example，need help to
1）hand draw the dipeptides that contains Glutamic acid and Proline.
2）hand draw the tetra peptides that contains Glycine ， Alanine，Glutamic acid and Proline.

- Which describes the enzymatic activity/biochemical function of dynamin? Answers: bind to and (quickly) hydrolyze GTP for energy while pinching off vesicles from a donor membrane surface in collaboration with clathrin bind to signal sequences in nascent secretory proteins, the ribosome, and to the SRP receptor, bind to and (slowly) hydrolyze GTP when the ribosome is bound to the translocon bind to nuclear localization sequences and to importin-beta bind to and (slowly) hydrolyze GTP while recruiting (binding to) vesicle coat proteinsarrow_forwardExplain how phosphorylation and the binding of a nucleotide (such as aTp or GTp) can both be used to regulate protein activity. What do you suppose are the advantages of either form of regulation?arrow_forwardA group of researchers have isolated three novel compounds from the venom of a newly discovered species of wasp. Based on their structure and protein chemistry, the researchers believe that all three compounds may have strong anti-inflammatory activity and they have devised an experiment to test whether their compounds can reduce muscle damage after exercise. They plan to induce muscle damage in mice by causing repeated eccentric contractions (by running them downhill on a treadmill), and then examine the amount of inflammation in the muscles of their mice 24hrs later. They will use the following treatment groups: Sample 1) no treatment (control) Sample 2) 1mg/kg of Compound ‘A’ Sample 3) 1mg/kg of Compound ‘B’, and; Sample 4) 1mg/kg of Compound ‘C’. They perform their experiment and analyse their results using ANOVA followed by a post-hoc test.

Thus in isolation, this reaction would [occur or not occur] in cells. Peptide synthesis at the ribosome is coupled to GTP hydrolysis which is an [exergonic or endergonic] process thus making the overall process of synthesizing peptides [spontaneous or not spontaneous].arrow_forwardThere are two major paths utilized for protein engineering: The rational design The directed evolution Your aim is to design a new insulin isoform that is resistant to heat (for longer storage at room temperature). Which of the approaches above would you use for the purpose? Why? (Use up-to-date examples if necessary to examplify your causes) and What is the relationship between it and insulin and why did you choose it and did not leave the other?.arrow_forward

What digestion or cleavage agent(s) should a biochemist use to determine the sequence of subunit β? Explain why. Then, identify the resulting peptide fragment(s) of subunit β.arrow_forwardSuppose that you are studying a protein involved in transporting ions in and out of cells.

- You are working on an enzyme that binds to a steroid hormone. Answer the following questions: • Is this likely to be a globular protein? Explain your answer. • The substrate is a steroid hormone. How does the enzyme bind to the steroid? (think about the non-covalent interactions that allow this to occur) • Describe the difference in net charge of the surface of this protein compared to the core of the protein. Are they most likely to be different or the same? Explain your answer. • Since this enzyme is extracellular, where in the cell would this enzyme be translated?arrow_forwardGive an example of a reducing sugar and a non-reducing sugar. What is the chemical group responsible for the reduction reaction in a reducing sugar? Certain fats are important components of a healthy diet. But transfats are associated with increased riskof heart disease. Are transfats saturated or unsaturated fatty acids? What is the difference in chemicalstructure between a transfat versus a cisfat?
