5. A histidine residue (His146) in Hb subunit has a side chain pKa of 6.2 in the lung. Due to a conformational shift of Hb in the muscle, an amino acid moves into the close proximity of this histidine, shifting this His146 pka to 7.7: • a) what is the net charge of this His146 in the lung at pH 7.6 (show all the calculations)? • b) what is the net charge of this His146 in the muscle at pH 7.2 (show all the calculations)? • c) what is the likely identity of the residue that causes the pKa shift for His146 residue? Explain why such residue causes the shift in the histidine pka.

Which of the following statements could be considered true for both the Hsp70-mediated and GroEL- GroES-mediated protein-folding processes? Choose one: ADP hydrolysis is critical to completion of the protein-folding cycle. Both Hsp70 and GroEL-GroES are considered chamber-type chaperones. Proteins are typically released from both complexes in a partially folded form and the folding cycle may need to be repeated multiple times. Exposed hydrophilic patches on the surface of unfolded proteins initiate recognition with chaperones.
