Chapter 7.2, Problem 3CC
MAKE CONNECTIONS Ø Aquaporins exclude passage of hydronium ions (H3O+), but some aquaporins allow passage of glycerol, a three-carbon alcohol (see Figure 5.9), as well as H2O. Since H3O+ is closer in size to water than glycerol is, yet cannot pass through, what might be the basis of this selectivity?

(e) What is the pH of a glutamic acid solution in which the a-amine group is 70% deprotonated? (show calculation!)arrow_forwardHow does NH4SO4 affect water structure? What does this have to do with protein solubility? I thought the answer was that NH4S04 attracts H2O so the protein doesn't bind to H2O allowing the protein to bind to each other.

- ATP + H20 → ADP + Pi AG = -30.5kJ/mol 3Na* (inside) + 2K* (outside) + ATP* + H20 → 3Na* (outside) + 2K* (inside) + ADP3 + Pi2 + H* Calculate the minimum pH difference across a membrane that could, theoretically at least, support he fromation of 1.0 mM ATP from Pi and 1.0 mM ADP at pH 7 at 25 degrees.arrow_forward© Macmillan Learning A outside → Ainside, is 10.9 kJ/mol at 25°C. Consider a uniport system where a carrier protein transports an uncharged substance A across a cell membrane. Suppose that at a certain ratio of [A] inside to [A] outside, the AG for the transport of substance A from outside the cell to the inside, What is the ratio of the concentration of substance A inside the cell to the concentration outside? [A]inside [A] outside -81.28 Incorrect Answer Choose the true statement about the transport of A under the conditions described. Decreasing the concentration of the uniport protein in the membrane will cause AG to become a smaller positive number. Because AG is positive, the ratio [A] inside/[A] outside must be less than one. Increasing [A] outside will cause AG for movement of Aoutside to Ainside to become a larger positive number. Movement of Ainside to Aoutside will be spontaneous. Incorrect Answerarrow_forward6-One method to determine proximity of two locations in a protein molecule or protein complex is FRET. This technique uses fluorescence transfer between two fluorophores where the ability of the transfer to occur is correlated to distance between the two residues. A) On the following graph using colored pencils, pens, or markers draw the emission spectra from the donor and the absorbance spectra of the acceptor (this should be a general schematic, does not need to be a FRET pair). Include a key for your graph B) As a rescarch student in my group you want to study the proximity of two residues in clamp region of a protein. Draw a schematic of your protein and label the two locations of your fluorophores. In 2-4 sentences (or figures) explain how your FRET fluorophores would give determine if these two residues were close to one another.arrow_forward
- A large chaperone protein complex GroEL is approximately 16 nm in diameter. When it is dissolved in water at 300 K, estimate the average time it will take for GroEL to diffuse a distance of 500 nm (0.5 micron). The viscosity of water is 10-3 Pa*s.arrow_forwardGive answer last question with explanation pleasearrow_forwardDiffusion experiments of a small molecule drug in tissue samples are performed. The drug has a radius of 2.24 nm and a pure-water diffusivity of 2.75 x 10^-6 cm^2/s. Cells occupy approximately 72% of the tissue byvolume. The molecule is very hydrophilic and does not readily cross cellular membranes. If you assume that the interstitial space is gel-like with a microstructure parameter k=3.7 x 10^-3 nm^-1, what is the effective diffusivity in the tissue?arrow_forward
