Consider the following in light of the concept of levels of structure (primary, secondary, tertiary, quaternary)as defined for proteins.(a) What level is shown by double-stranded DNA?(b) What level is shown by tRNA?(c) What level is shown by mRNA?
Consider two proteins, Protein A and Protein B: A is a monomeric protein, whereas B is a subunit of a
homo-tetrameric protein. Both A and B are soluble. Additionally, both A and B have similar 3D structures. What differences would you expect to see between the amino acids exposed on the surfaces of A and B? Explain the reasons for the differences observed.

- Consider the following peptide to answer the questions below: A M A K K E S H I F T A I D E What is the total charge of this peptide at pH = 5? What is the N terminal amino acid (full name)? C terminal amino acid? How many fragments would result if this peptide underwent proteolytic cleavage with V-8 protease and what are these fragments (list them)? Would this peptide be a candidate to form an alpha helix? Why or why notarrow_forwardTwo proteins are discovered, and both are shown to have a potential in treating fatty liver disease. The structural differences of the proteins require them to be delivered using spherical nanoparticles made of different polymers. The scientists are trying to decide which protein will be more efficient to use in applications where a faster drug release is more favorable. Protein 1 is loaded into spherical nanoparticles made of polymer 1 which has R=100 nm at a concentration of 50 nM. Protein 2 is loaded into spherical nanoparticles made of polymer 2 which has R=250 nm, at a concentration of 50 nM. The partition coefficient of polymer 1 is 0.01 and is known to be half of partition coefficient of polymer 2. The diffusion coefficient of protein 1 in polymer 1 is 2x10-6 cm2/s, and diffusion coefficient of protein 2 in polymer 2 is 3.4x10-6 cm2/s.
