Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 2AYKA
After Ramon’s skin came into contact with a poison ivy plant in biology lab, he developed a painful, itchy rash. However, after the skin of his colleague Cathy came into contact with snake venom in lab, she developed no skin irritation. Poison ivy plants contain lipid-soluble oils, whereas snake venoms contain mostly water-soluble peptides. Explain why Ramon developed a rash, whereas Cathy did not.

A group of researchers have isolated three novel compounds from the venom of a newly discovered species of wasp. Based on their structure and protein chemistry, the researchers believe that all three compounds may have strong anti-inflammatory activity and they have devised an experiment to test whether their compounds can reduce muscle damage after exercise. They plan to induce muscle damage in mice by causing repeated eccentric contractions (by running them downhill on a treadmill), and then examine the amount of inflammation in the muscles of their mice 24hrs later. They will use the following treatment groups:
Sample 1) no treatment (control)
Sample 2) 1mg/kg of Compound ‘A’
Sample 3) 1mg/kg of Compound ‘B’, and;
Sample 4) 1mg/kg of Compound ‘C’.
They perform their experiment and analyse their results using ANOVA followed by a post-hoc test. The results are as follows: (IMAGE ATTCAHED)

Protein kinases (PTKS) are enzymes that regulate the biological activity of proteins by
phosphorylation of specific amino acids, inducing a conformational change from an
inactive to an active form of the protein.
a) True
b) False
Rationalize the following observations.(a) Serine is the amino acid residue that can be replaced with theleast effect on protein structure and function.(b) Replacement of tryptophan causes the greatest effect on protein structure and function.(c) Replacements such as Lys -> Arg and Leu -> Ile usually havevery little effect on protein structure and function.

- Two proteins have exactly the same amino acid sequence. Protein A is able to bind with high affinity to a cellular receptor, while Protein B cannot bind to the receptor under identical conditions. In 3-4 sentences explain, provide an explanation why two proteins with the same primary sequence could have very different abilities to bind a receptor.arrow_forwardCertain naphthalene derivatives, such as the dansyl group, exhibit a weak yellow fluorescence when they are in a highly polar environment (such as water) and an intense blue fluorescence when they are in a markedly nonpolar environment (such as hexane). The binding of ´ -dansyl-lysine to specific antibody is accompanied by a marked increase in its fluorescence intensity and a shift in color from yellow to blue.

- A small protein has a sequence ACNCKAAPMLCARYCAMLH. The structure of this single peptide is stabilized by the formation of two separate disulfide bonds, but the locations of those disulfide bonds are unknown. In order to determine the location, you purify this peptide and treat it with trypsin (cleaves peptide bond at long, positively-charged side chains). Tryptic digestion generated two peptides.
