- Trypsin contains a/an [aspartate/serine/histidine] in its specificity pocket to attract lysine and arginine side chains. It contains a potent nucleophilic [histidine/serine/aspartate] in its active site that is capable of attacking the electrophilic [carbon/nitrogen/oxygen] of the closest peptide bond. The [acyl-enzyme/specificity pocket/oxyanion] transition state is stabilized by the backbone amide hydrogens of glycine and serine. In this way, the enzyme is able to catalyze the [hydrolysis/ligation/metalysis/hydrogenation] of the peptide bond.The following amino acids that are often found inside globulin molecules are () A, Tyr B, Phe C, Asn D, Glu True of false 1. In the de novo synthesis of purine nucleotides and pyrimidine nucleotides, base rings are first synthesized and then corresponding nucleotides are formed with phosphoribose. () 2. Transcription is the process of transferring genetic information from DNA to RNA. DNA is synthesized under the catalysis of RNA polymerase, and the direction of synthesis is from the 5 'end to the 3' end. () 3.

- A peptide with the primary structure Lys-Arg-Pro-Leu-Ile-Asp-Gly-Ala must be synthesized by the methods developed by Merrifield. Calculate the percentage of the peptides synthesized that will be full length and have the correct sequence if the addition of each amino acid residue is 96% efficient. Do the calculation a second time but assume a 99% efficiency for each cycle. full-length peptides with the correct sequence if 96% efficient: full-length peptides with the correct sequence if 99% efficient: % %Consider the peptide Asp-Lys-Phe-Glu-Asn-Tyr-Gln-Val-Cys. In a single beaker, you treat this peptide with 2 proteases. One protease cleaves at the N-terminus of aromatic R groups and the other cleaves at the C-terminus of polar, non-ionizable R groups. Following the enzymatic digestion, you want to separate your peptide fragments so that you can identify them. You choose to separate the fragments using an anion exchange column. Beginning at pH=6 you apply your peptide fragments to the column and you gradually decrease the pH of the column stopping the separation when the pH of the column equals 4. Omitting chemical structures, write the amino acid sequence of the peptide fragments that are produced from this digest. Write the order that these fragments will elute from the column (if at all). (Relevant pKa values are: 2.1, 3.8, 4.3, 8.3, 9.6, 10.1, and 10.5)Many blood clotting proteins undergo a post-translational modification in which specific glutamic acid residues (Glu) in the protein are converted to gamma-carboxyglutamic acid residues (Gla). See reaction scheme below. An example is the blood clotting protein Factor IX, which has 12 Glu in its N-terminus converted to Gla. This modification gives Factor IX the ability to bind calcium and phospholipid membranes. Bacteria do not have the enzyme required to convert Glu to Gla and therefore Factor IX proteins expressed in bacteria would not have the proper modifications. How might you engineer the translational apparatus of a bacterial cell line so that it produces Factor IX with Gla in the appropriate positions. How would you ensure that only the 12 Glu in Factor IX that are normally converted to Gla and not just all Glu (Limit 5-6 senetnces)?

Why were the outcomes so different when reduced ribonuclease was reoxidized in the presence and absence of urea?
