- Predict the secondary and tertiary structure of the following peptide sequence: a.) LKAENDEAARAMSEA b.) CRAGGFPWDQPGTSN 2.) In an experiment, you somehow added cysteine so that it would covalently bond a protein complex composed of two proteins. But, the problem is you can’t detect the bridge, meaning you can’t detect covalent bond formation of cysteine in between two proteins. How do you generate disulfide bond? Give an idea to force disulfide bond formation between two proteins. 3.)Lysozyme consist of 4 disulfide bridges while Bovine Serum Albumin(BSA) is 17. However, lysozyme is more rigid compared to BSA.

A biochemist synthesized a polypeptide consisting of 300 alanine residues. When this polyAla300 was suspended in buffered water, it dissolved briefly and then formed a clumped insoluble precipitate that looked like cooked egg-white.
