Question
Chapter 2, Problem 21P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The binding of a protease to its target protein in order to fully extent the main chain in the site of the weak peptide bond needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Amino acids are compounds containing amino as well as acidic group. The general molecular structure of an amino acid is as follows:
Here, R is different group for different amino acids. If there is more than one amino group present in an amino acid, they are considered as basic amino acids and if there is more than one carboxylic group then they are considered as acidic amino acids.

(a) Two ligands bind to the same site of a protein. However, when examined by ITC, for one of the ligands heat needs to be added to the system to maintain constant temperature, whereas for the other ligand, heat must be removed. Why is this the case?
Signal transduction pathway. Sketch a G protein in the active and inactive stages, and label its parts.

- Biotransformation. Explain the process of enzyme induction. What are the benefits or down-falls of this process.arrow_forwardInducers and Inhibitors of AEP. Short peptides such as legumain stabilization and activity modulation (LSAM) domain and αvβ3 integrin could enhance the activity of AEP. LSAM domain known as the prodomain of AEP blocks substrate binding before activation. This prodomain has a helical structure and two independent peptides. One is an activation peptide (AP, K287 to N323), and the other is a LSAM domain. LSAM domain remains even after AP is cleaved and released from protease at neutral pH via electrostatic interaction. AEP without LSAM domain has a lower melting temperature than AEP with LSAM domain [77, 117]. Another short peptide, αvβ3 integrin, can directly interact with AEP, and after forming a complex, the optimal pH for AEP activity is increased from 5.5 to 6.0. It indicates that αvβ3 binding could induce conformational stabilization of AEP accompanied by deprotonated C189. αvβ3 does not directly interact with the AEP active site; however, AEP docks to the αvβ3 RGD-binding site…arrow_forwardBe sure to answer all parts.
