- ẞ-Calendic acid is an omega-6, conjugated fatty acid that is the all-trans isomer of a-calendic acid. HOOC—CH,CH, CH, CH,CH, CH, Part: 0/2 Part 1 of 2 H C=C H C-H H-C H C=C H CH₂ -CH2-CH2-CH2-CH₂ When this fatty acid is partially hydrogenated with one equivalent of H₂ in the presence of a Pd catalyst, a mixture of constitutional isomers is formed. Modify the given structure to draw one of these possible products.arrow_forwardDetermine the amino acid sequence of Peptide A, which was obtained by hydrolyzing a larger peptide with trypsin, using the data below: Total hydrolysis of Peptide A produces (Ala2, Arg, Glu, Gly, Met, Pro2, Ser, Tyr). Sequential Edman degradation of Peptide A produces a derivative of Ala in the first cycle; a derivative of Serine in the second cycle; and a derivative of Proline in the third cycle. Cleavage of Peptide A with chymotrypsin yields two peptides: a tripeptide III containing Ala, Arg and Gly; and a heptapeptide IV containing Ala, Glu, Met, Pro2, Ser and Tyr. Edman treatment of tripeptide III generated a derivative of Alanine. Cleavage of Peptide A with cyanogen bromide (which cleaves peptides on the C-terminal side of Methionine) yields two pentapeptides labeled I and II. Total hydrolysis or peptide I indicate that it contains Ala, Arg, Gly, Pro and Tyr; pentapeptide II contains Ala, Glu, Met, Pro, and Ser.arrow_forwardWhich of the following amino acids would you expect to find more often near the center of a folded globular protein? Which ones would you expect to find more often exposed to the outside? explain your answers. Ser, Ser-p (a Ser residue that is phosphorylated), Leu, Lys, Gln, His, Phe, Val, Ile, Met, Cys–S–S–Cys (two cysteines that are disulfide- bonded), and Glu. Where would you expect to find the most N-terminal amino acid and the most C-terminal amino acid?arrow_forward
- Many enzymes are switched "on" by attachment of a phosphate group at a specific serine somewhere on the protein (phosphorylation). The basic reaction is: E + ATP2 Ep + ADP Po SERINE PHOSPHO SERINC (Note the "squiggles" before the backone amide and carbonyl indicate the polypeptide chain continues on either side of the serine). For phosphorylation to have this effect, there has to be some equilibrium between inactive and active forms conformations of the enzyme: [Eactive] [Einactive] Einactive 2 Eactive; K* The same basic equilibrium must exist for the phosphorylated protein: [Ep,active] [Ep,inactive] EP,inactive 2 Ep,active; Kp = (a) If phosphorylation increases the measured activity of the enzyme, is K* or K larger? Why? (b) Does the phosphorylation site need to be near the site where the enzyme binds its substrate (e.g. the reactant whose chemistry it catalyzes)? Why or why not?arrow_forwardPlease calculate the number of ATP that can be generated from one molecule of the fatty acid shown below.
