When a globular cytoplasmic protein folds into its proper tertiary structure, which of the following correctly states the class of amino acids that will be in the interior and the reason why this class will be in the interior? Polar amino acids will be in the interior because they line the binding pocket for a hydrophilic ligand Nonpolar amino acids will be in the interior because they line the binding pocket for a hydrophilic ligand Charged amino acids will be in the interior because they would be bound by ions in the aqueous exterior Nonpolar amino acids would be in the interior because they avoid the exterior aqueous environment. Nonpolar amino acids will be in the interior because the protein would bind the membrane bilayer if they were on the exterior

For a protein that binds multiple ligands with negative cooperativity, which of the following is true? Each ligand bound increases the dissociation constant for subsequent ligands. Ligands cannot bind to the protein. The dissociation constant is not affected by binding of other ligands. Each ligand bound decreases the dissociation constant for subsequent ligands.
A transmembrane protein has the following properties: it has two binding sites, one for solute A and one for solute b. The protein can undergo a conformational change to switch between two states: either both binding sites are exposed exclusively on one side of the membrane or both binding sites are exposed exclusively on the other side of the membrane. The protein can switch between the two conformational states only if both binding sites are occupied or if both binding sites are empty, but cannot switch if only one binding site is occupied. What kind of protein do these properties define?
Choose the statements that describe how the helix orients in the tertiary structure of an integral membrane protein. The threonine residues act as membrane interface anchors, interacting with the lipid bilayer and the aqueous environment. The amphipathic helix interacts with the lipid bilayer along its hydrophobic surface, exposing its hydrophilic surface to the aqueous environment. A group of helices cluster with their polar surfaces in contact with one another and their hydrophobic surfaces facing the lipid bilayer. The peptide entirely embeds in the lipid bilayer. Incorrect
Many proteins are attached to the membrane phospholipids via a covalently linked polysaccharide. Which of the following would be an example? Glycophosphatidylehanolamine anchors O All of the other are correct O Glycophosphatidylinositol anchors O Glycophosphatidylcholine anchors

The protein can switch between the two conformational states only if both binding sites are occupied or if both binding sites are empty, but cannot switch if only one binding site is occupied. Do you need to specify any additional properties to turn this protein into a symport that couples the movement of solute A up its concentration gradient to the movement of solute b down its electrochemical gradient?
Under what conditions can a single binding site have a chemical specificity for more than one type of ligand?
