Question
Chapter 2, Problem 27P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason why the definite groups in the folded proteins have about more than 500 pKavalues should be determined.
Concept introduction:
A peptide bond exists between the two amino acids. During the formation of a peptide bond, a molecule of water is released. The carboxyl group of one amino acid gets linked with the amino group of the other amino acid. Polypeptides and proteins are the chains formed by the amino acids.

Predict the number of bands and apparent mol. wt. of the following proteins on SDS gels.
1. A trimeric protein containing three chains, each with a molecular weight of 60,000 Da (60 kDa).
Purification of a protein of unknown structure has been achieved. The natural protein has a molecular weight of 240,000, according to size-exclusion chromatography. Using a concentration of 6 M guanidine hydrochloride in the chromatography, a single peak can be identified as the molecular weight (MW) 60,000 of a protein. B-mercaptoethanol (BME) and guanidine hydrochloride (GHC) are used in tandem to produce proteins with mass masses of 34,000 and 26,000, respectively. The structure of this protein can be inferred from these facts.
The extinction coefficient or absorptivity (ɛ) of protein A at 340 nm is 6440 M-1 cm-1,
whereas protein B does not absorb at 340 nm. What absorbance will be observed when
light at 340 nm passes through a 5 mm cuvette containing 10 µM of protein A and 10
µM of protein B?
Beer-Lambert-law; A = ɛ x C x1; A = absorbance, C= concentration, 1= pathlength).
