- Which of the following statements best describe(s) the mechanism by which correct protein folding takes place once the misfolded protein binds the open ring of groEL? Select all that apply. The groEL ring closes to isolate the protein and provide enough time for the protein to properly fold on its own. b and d The groEL ring closes to provide a hydrophilic space to isolate the protein and inhibit its aggregation with others until properly folded. The groEL ring closes to isolate the protein and provide steric hindrance that mechanically refolds the protein. The groEL ring closes to isolate the protein and decode the information necessary to achieve the correct three-dimensional structure. None of the above I picked "The groEL ring closes to provide a hydrophilic space..." but it was incorrect..arrow_forwardin determining the structure of a fully folded protein? involving the amino acid side chains of the polypeptide.

- Can the tertiary structure of a protein depend on the type of cell system used for synthesis? Explain.arrow_forwardA peptide was analyzed with the following results. Whatis the primary sequence of the peptide? Briefly state the conclusions of each experimental result and indicate your logic. a)Mass spectrometry was consistent with a peptide of 7 amino acids containing W,C,D,M,N,K, and I. b)One cycle of Edman degradation of the peptide yielded a single product, the PTH derivative of I c)Cleavage of the peptide with CNBr yielded two products. One contained 5 amino acids, and the other 2. One cycle of Edman degradation yielded the PTH derivatives of Iand N, respectively. d)Treatment of the peptide with trypsin yielded 2 products. One of them had significant light absorbance at 280 nm, and Edman degradation yielded the PTH derivative of I. The other trypsin-generated product contained 4 amino acids, and Edman degradation yielded the PTH derivative of Asp.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements are False? (i) Parallel b-sheets characteristically distribute hydrophobic side chains on both sides of the sheet, and antiparallel B-sheets are usually arranged with all their hydrophobic residues on one side of the sheet. (ii) Planarity of the peptide bond means that no rotation occurs about the N-Ca bond while rotation is allowed about the C(O)-N and Ca-C(O) bonds. (iii) Silk fibers consist of fibroin proteins consisting of alternating A and G or S residues. (iv) If an aspartic acid residue were present in the interior of a globular protein, it would most likely be deprotonated and thus negatively charged.arrow_forward
- 1)Ubiquitin is a small protein with a monoisotopic mass of 8560 Da. a) Electrospray ionization of this small protein typically results in major charge states of +8, +9, +10, +11, +12, and +13. Using this information, complete the table below, assuming the charges on each come from protonation. Report mass and m/z values to the ones place. b) Using the data you entered in the table, sketch an expected ESI-MS spectrum for ubiquitin. Label each peak with its charge state. What do you notice about the spacing of peaks along the x-axis. c)The figure shows an experimentally obtained electrospray mass spectrum for ubiquitin.
