how does the protein environment surrounding an amino acid chain affect its chemical properties?Consider the carboxyl group on an asparate side chain in the following environments in a protein. Rank in order these environments from the highest to the lowest proportion of carboxyl groups in the -COO- form.that is in terms of pKas. 1. an aspartate side chain on the surface of protein with no other ionizable groups nearby. 2. an aspartate side chain buried in a hydrophobic pocket on the surface of a protein 3. an asparate chain in a hydrophobic pocket adjacent to a glutamte side chain 4. an asparate side chain in a hydrophobic porket adjacent to a lysine side chain.
The different types of interactions that stabilize the protein tertiary structure are illustrated in the diagram below. Which type of interaction moves some part of the polypeptide chain toward the inside of the folded protein? OH Hydrophilic OH CH₂ interaction with water Hydrogen bond -NH₂3-0- C Salt bridge -CH₂-OH C=0 H-N H 0-CH,- I H Hydrogen bond Salt bridge O Disulfide bond 222 -SIS Hydrophobic interaction 200 O Hydrogen bond O Hydrophilic interaction Disulfide bonds B-Pleated sheet O Hydrophobic interaction CH₂ CH₂ a Helix CH3 CH3 Hydrogen bonds
Which of the following statement is not true? In a secondary structure the consecutive residues have phi and psi values that are quite different. The Ramachandran diagram defines the restrictions of polypeptide backbone conformation. Two α helices with hydrophobic side chains repeated in a regular pattern can form dimeric structures in water. Greek key motifs occur frequently in antiparallel β structures. Both α helices and β sheets can be amphipathic.
A protein has been sequenced after cleavage of disulfide bonds. The protein is known to contain 3 Cys residues, located as shown here. Only one of the Cys has a free —SH group, and the other two are involved in an —S—S— bond. The only methionine and the only aromatic amino acid (Phe) in this protein are in the positions indicated. Cleavage of the intact protein (i.e., withdisulfide bonds intact) by either cyanogen bromide or chymotrypsin does not break the protein into two peptides. Where is the —S—S— bond (i.e., AB, BC, or AC)?
Consider protein folding that results when the following components interact: Where the solution is at a pH of 7, green (thick-dotted line) represents aspartic acid (R group contains a carboxylic acid with pKa = 4), orange (thick-solid line) represents lysine (R group contains an amine with pKa = 10), and blue (thin-solid line) represents hydrophilic groups. Rank the three complexes in order from lowest to highest dissociation constants Kd (low Kd values correspond to good binding constants and low energy, while high Kd values correspond to low binding constants and high energy) as determined by intermolecular charge-charge interactions. For those complexes with charge-charge interactions being equal, look at the possibility for the formation of hydrogen bonds via carboxylic acid dimers (only possible when the carboxylic acid is protonated) which are low energy structures.
The simplest form of the Ramachandran diagram is calculated by ignoring hydrogen bonding, interactions with water, and the hydrophobic effect. Why is this simple form of the diagram still an effective predictor of protein backbone conformation?
The pi-helix is a rare secondary structural element in proteins that resembles an alpha helix but has slightly different properties. Notably, hydrogen bonds within a pi-helix display a repeating pattern in which the backbone C=O of residue i hydrogen bonds to the backbone HN of residue i+5. Based on this information, which of the following are true? Select all that apply. O The hydrogen bonding distance between C=O and NH groups remains unchanged between pi-helices and alpha-helices The torsion angles of amino acids found in pi-helices are the same as those found in alpha-helices Pi-helices have a smaller rise per residue compared to alpha- helices Pi-helices have fewer residues per turn compared to alpha-helices Pi-helices have more residues per tůrn compared to alpha-helices Pi-helices are left handed
Place each charge form of alanine under the pH condition where it would be the predominant form. The pK₁ values for the carboxyl group and amino group of alanine are approximately 2.3 and 9.7, respectively. pH 11 H | H₂C-C-COO NH₂ Does not occur in significant amounts at any pH
Consider the phenolic hydroxyl group of a particular Tyr residue in a protein. Suppose the hydroxyl group in the unfolded protein in aqueous solution, where the group is exposed to H2O, has a pKa of 10.0. If that group is found in a hydrophobic environment in the interior of the protein when the protein is folded into its native tertiary structure, would you expect the pKa of the phenolic hydroxyl to be higher or lower in the folded protein interior than in H2O? Explain your reasoning.
What general structural feature is shared by proteins that specifically form homodimers (but not homotrimers, homoteramers etc)? Only one answer is correct. the surface consists of hydrophilic alpha-helix. the surface is highly modified by post-translational modification. the surface is permanently bound by chaperones. the surface is unstructured. the surface, or part of it, is self-complementary.
Based upon your knowledge of protein folding, which of the following statements would you expect to be FALSE: O The native state is the protein conformation with the most negative Gibbs free energy value. O The hydrophobic effect causes non-polar side chains to pack into the interior of a protein away from solvent. Proteins are likely to try out every possible conformation before folding into the native state. O A protein incubated in hexane (C6H14) is likely to denature and unfold. O Detergents can interact with the side chains of valine, leucine and phenylalanine.
