- 6-One method to determine proximity of two locations in a protein molecule or protein complex is FRET. This technique uses fluorescence transfer between two fluorophores where the ability of the transfer to occur is correlated to distance between the two residues. A) On the following graph using colored pencils, pens, or markers draw the emission spectra from the donor and the absorbance spectra of the acceptor (this should be a general schematic, does not need to be a FRET pair). Include a key for your graph B) As a rescarch student in my group you want to study the proximity of two residues in clamp region of a protein. Draw a schematic of your protein and label the two locations of your fluorophores. In 2-4 sentences (or figures) explain how your FRET fluorophores would give determine if these two residues were close to one another.arrow_forward4. a) Structures A, B and C are derivatives of penicillin Н NHH +x A i) ii) iii) CO₂H HH Ex B CO₂H R Describe briefly how the activity of B and C compares with A. b) The biosynthesis of penicillin involves two amino acids с Name the two amino acids.

The diagram to the right shows the change in the structure of the C-terminal portion of each of the ẞ-subu- nits of human hemoglobin (HbA) in the oxyHb to deox- yHb or R-to-T transition. The hydrogen bonding interac- tion of the C-terminal ẞHis 146 residue with the side chain of Asp94, highlighted by the red ellipse, has been shown to be responsible for a major portion of the proton uptake associated with the Bohr effect. Treatment of HbA with the enzyme carboxypeptidase A (CPA) results in loss of the C-terminal ẞHis 146 and ẞTyr145 residues of the ẞ- subunits. (a) ( ) Draw a Hill plot [log(Y/[1-Y]) vs. log(pO2), Y = fraction of heme groups occupied by O2] to compare the values of the Hill coefficient nн and the O2-binding affinity at pH 7.4 of normal HbA before and after treat- ment of with CPA.
