3,Compare the free energy, ∆G, of A-T binding and A-C binding, which one is more negative? Does this makes sense in terms of the structure of DNA? Group of answer choices A, ∆G of the A-T binding is more negative than that of the A-C binding, which is consistent with the fact that A-C binding is not favored in DNA helix. B, ∆G of the A-T binding is more negative than that of the A-C binding, which is consistent with the fact that A-C binding is favored in DNA helix. C, ∆G of the A-C binding is more negative than that of the A-T binding, which is consistent with the fact that A-C binding is not favored in DNA helix. D, ∆G of the A-C binding is more negative than that of the A-T binding, which is consistent with the fact that A-C binding is favored over A-T binding in DNA helix.

It is known that double stranded DNA is denatured at low pH. pKa values should allow the determination of whether this is due to perturbation of the hydrogen bonding in A-T and/or G-C base pairs. The table gives values for the pKas of different protonated groups in the nucleobases.Nucleobase Position & pKa A N1, 3.5 G N7, 1.6; N1, 9.2 C N3, 4.2 T N3, 9.7a) Draw the A-T and G-C base pairs. - Label the bases with the one-letter code. – - Number the atoms in the rings and label the atom that attaches to the sugar. - Mark the groups that interact in normal…
Given the following diagram of how protein AWESOME1 binds to it's target DNA, describe the potential effects of each of the 5 mutations shown below. The wild-type sequence of a helix #1 is also shown in the blue box, and all the mutations are in helix #1 (see numbers for identifying particular residues). a helix #1 R(1)-V-I-L-Y-F-W-I-M-Y-F-S-H-Y-W-R(16) #1 Predict the consequence of the following mutations: 1) Arg(1) to Glu 2) Arg(1) to Ala 3) Phe(6) to lle 4) Trp(7) to Phe 5) Met(9) to Pro in

The protein is eluted from an anion exchange column at pH 6.25 with an increasing gradient of KCI. Fraction A is shown to correspond to native enzyme. Since Fraction B has the same amino acid sequence for the first 10 residues, the conclusion is that this fraction represents enzyme in which side chains of glutamine or asparagine residues have been hydrolyzed (deamidated).

7. You are studying the folding and stability of a bacterial nuclease. Upon exposing the enzyme to 8 M urea and mercaptoethanol, you find that its activity to hydrolyze DNA drops from 100% to -0.01%. After removal of the mercaptoethanol, you find that the enzyme's activity remains close to -0.01%. Next, you remove the urea and find that the activity is restored to ~33%. However, if you perform an equivalent experiment but remove both mercaptoethanol and urea at the same time, the activity of the enzyme is restored to ~98%. Provide a biochemical explanation for these findings.

Where do you predict the N- and C-termini are located for Max? Match the words in the left column to the appropriate blanks in the sentences on the right. electrostatic dispersion negative C-terminus positive positively negatively N-terminus The Reset Help is interacting with the DNA. The first reason for this is because the a-amino group is positively charged and will interact favorably with the of the charge on the phosphodiester backbone of the DNA. The second reason is that this orientation also situates the partial end of the helical macrodipole for favorable interactions with the charged phosphodiester backbone of the DNA
3. Approximate molecular weight for an unknown protein from gel-filtration experiment is 130 kDa. Thirty six mg of this pure protein was treated with excess of fluorodinitrobenzene. After the reaction and complete acid hydrolysis the mixture was found to contain 356 µg of dinitrobenzene derivative of methionine (free acid) and no other amino acid-dinitrobenzene derivatives. Is this protein consisting of single polypeptide chain or multiple subunits? If it consists of multiple subunits, then how many? From these data, can you calculate the molecular weight of the protein more precisely?
