Concept explainers
Interpretation: The score for the given alignment is to be calculated using the identity-based scoring system. Also, whether the given proteins are related to each other or not is to be identified.
Concept introduction: Proteins are the

- DO NOT COPY OLDER ANSWERS! AND SHOW FULL WORK! I have a mixture of 4 proteins, whose sequences are shown below (note that each protein is a 100-repeat of the sequence shown). Protein A: (Gly-Ala-Lys-Val-Ile-Phe-Glu-Val-Asn-Gly) Protein B: (Ala-Ala-Lys-Arg-Ile-His-Glu-Ala-Asn-Lys) Protein C: (Glu-Val-His-Asp-Ala-Asp-Glu-Val-Asn-Asp) Protein D: (Ala-Lys-Arg-Phe-Trp-Phe-Gly-Ile-Ala-Gly) 1) Which protein/s are MOST LIKELY to precipitate out at a pH of 3.5? a) A b) B c) C d) D e) B & C f) A & D g) None of them h) Cannot be determined.arrow_forwardusing, 3’ TGAGGCGCTAGGCCAAGCGGTAAGGATGCATGGTCGTGGTAG , What would be the resultant type of error on the amino acid chain?arrow_forwardHow to calculate the molecular weight of the given protein sequence; NH3+GLN-ALA-CYS-GLN-GLN-IIE-COOHarrow_forward
