Introduction: Proteins are one of the most important parts of the living world. Amino acids combine to form different types of proteins. Proteins can be found in three (or four sometimes) structural forms in nature: primary structure; secondary structure; tertiary structure; and quaternary structure. Tertiary and quaternary structures are the functional structures of proteins. Simpler structures combine and fold in a special manner to form the functional proteins. The unfavorable atmosphere around the proteins can lead to the denaturation of the protein.

Cellulose is an abundant structural polysaccharide found in plant cell walls, wood, and interchain hydrogen bonding between extended molecular chains repeating unit of N-acetylglucosamine a(1→4) linkages between glucose units branches that occur every 12-30 residues forms a helical conformation in water Which of the following is not correct about chitin? fundamental constituent of the exoskeletons of crustaceans, insects, and spiders b) chitin chains form extended ribbons that pack side-by side a) similar to cellulose but with repeating units of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine c) d) found mainly in the liver in humans, making up as much as 10% of liver mass stacked sheets of chitin strands are stabilized by intrastrand, interstrand, and intersheet hydrogen bondsarrow_forwardNeed help. (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?arrow_forward. A nervous polecat. Pyrrolysine (Pyl, O) and Selenocysteine (Sec, U) are two uncommon amino acids.

- Peptides. 1. Draw the peptide Ala-Glu-Gly-Lys, as it would occur at physiological pH = 7.4. The R groups of Ala and Gly are not acidic or basic, therefore do not have a pka and the charge on these R groups is therefore independent of pH. Glu is acidic and Lys is basic, therefore the charge on these amino acids is pH dependent. The pKas are shown below. pKa N-term = 9.0 C-term = 3.5 Glu4.1 Lys = 10.5 2. Draw a circle around the peptide bonds. 3. Label the C-terminus and the N-terminus. 4. What is the overall charge on the peptide at pH 7.4?arrow_forwardMultiple Choice. Imagine a solution containing only water, sodium, and glucose. If a voltage is applied to the solution, glucose would move: (a) There would be no net movement of glucose (b) In the opposite direction of sodium (c) In the same direction and speed as sodium (d) In the same direction as sodium, but slower. (e) In the same direction as sodium, but faster.arrow_forwardMore ratios. Through the use of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, it is possible to determine the ratio between the protonated and deprotonated forms of buffers. (a) Suppose the ratio of [ A- ]A I to [HA] is determined to be 0.1 for a buffer with pKar6.0.pKa = 6.0. What is the pH? (b) For a different buffer, 91974 suppose the ratio of [ A- ]lA J to [HA] is determined to be 0.1 and the pHpH is 7.0. In this case, what is the pKapKa of the buffer?

Justify whether the student experimentally proved the regenerative properties of maltose? Give the structure of maltose disaccharide.arrow_forwardPeptide mass determination. You have isolated a proteinfrom the bacterium E. coli and seek to confirm its identityby trypsin digestion and mass spectrometry. Determinationof the masses of several peptide fragments has enabled youto deduce the identity of the protein. However, there is adiscrepancy with one of the peptide fragments, whichyou believe should have the sequence MLNSFK and an(M 1 H)1 value of 739.38. In your experiments, yourepeat edly obtain an (M 1 H)1 value of 767.38.
