Solving the Sequence of an Oligopeptide From Sequence Analysis Data Analysis of the blood of a catatonic football fan revealed large concentrations of a. psychologic octapeptide. Amino acid analysis of this oclapeplide gave the following results: 2 Ala lArg 1 Asp 1 Mel 2 Tyr I Val 1NH/ The following facts were observed: Partial acid hydrolysis of the octapeptide yielded a dipeptide of the structure Chymolrypsin treatment of the octapeplide yielded two tetrapeptides, each containing an alanine residue. Trypsin treatment of one of the tetrapeptides yielded two dipeptides. Cyanogen bromide treatment of another sample of the same tetrapeplide yielded a tripeplideand free Tyr.

(Research Problem) The Nature and Roles of Linear Motifs in Proteins In addition to domains and modules, there are other significant sequence patterns in proteins—known as linear motifs—that are associated with a particular function. Consult the biochemical literature to answer the following questions: 1. What are linear motifs? 2. How are they different from domains?. 3. What are their functions? 4. How can they be characterized? 5. There are several papers that are good starting points for this problem. Neduva, V., and Russell, R., 2005. Linear motifs: evolutionary interaction switches. FEBS Letters 579:3342-3345. Gibson, T., 2009. Cell regulation: determined to signal discrete cooperation. Trends in Biochemical Sciences 34:471-482. Diella, K. Haslam, N., Chica., C. et aL, 2009.

Assessing the Effect of Temperature on Equilibrium You are studying the various components of the venom of a poisonous lizard. One of the venom components is a protein that appears to be temperature sensitive. When heated, it denatures and is no longer toxic. The process can be described by the following simple equation: There is only enough protein from this venom to carry out two equilibrium measurements. At 298 K, you find that 98% of the protein is in its to.\ic form. However, when you raise the temperature to 320 �.. you find that only 10% of the protein is in its toxic form. Calculate the equilibrium constants for the T to N conversion at these two temperatures. Use the data to determine the H,S, and G for this process.arrow_forwardAnswers to all problems are at the end of this book.
