Question
Chapter 30, Problem 9P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The number of amino acid residues should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Amino acids are compounds containing amino as well as acidic group. The general molecular structure of an amino acid is as follows:
Here, R is different group for different amino acids. If there is more than one amino group present in an amino acid, they are considered as basic amino acids and if there is more than one carboxylic group then they are considered as acidic amino acids.

Disulfide bond formation is a regularly observed protien modification that occurs in the lumen of the ER. Explain why disulfifde bond formation is a modification only found in secretory proteins and the extracellular domain of plasma membrane proteins. Furthermore, highlight the advantages disulfide bonds provide to these proteins.

Using polarized laser light, it ispossible to create interference patterns that exert a cen-trally directed force, ranging from zero at the center to afew piconewtons at the periphery (about 200 nm from thecenter). Individual molecules that enter the interferencepattern are rapidly pushed to the center, allowing them tobe captured and moved at the experimenter’s discretion.Using such “optical tweezers,” single kinesin mol-ecules can be positioned on a microtubule that is fixed toa coverslip. Although a single kinesin molecule cannotbe seen optically, it can be tagged with a silica bead andtracked indirectly by following the bead (Figure Q16–3A).In the absence of ATP, the kinesin molecule remains at thecenter of the interference pattern, but with ATP it movestoward the plus end of the microtubule. As kinesin movesalong the microtubule, it encounters the force of the inter-ference pattern, which simulates the load…arrow_forwardEstimate the number of amino acid residues in each of the two helices of a segment of the alpha-keratin coiled coil that is 23 nm long.arrow_forward
