- Heparin, a highly negatively charged glycosaminoglycan, is used clinically as an anticoagulant. It acts by binding several plasma proteins, including antithrombin III, an inhibitor of blood clotting. The 1:1 binding of heparin to antithrombin III seems to cause a conformational change in the protein thatgreatly increases its ability to inhibit clotting. What amino acid residues of antithrombin III are likely to interact with heparin?what are the first 4 amino acids in the polypeptide sequence of SARS-CoV-2 surface glycoprotein.The hemoglobin in the fetus (HbF) is a structural variant of the hemoglobin in the mother (HbA). HbA is a tetrameric protein complex consisting of two α-globin and two β-globin subunits. HbF is made up of two αglobin and two γ-globin subunits, where the γ-globins are similar to the β-globins but γglobins have lower affinity for 2,3- bisphosphoglycerate or BPG. Studies of oxygen transport in pregnant mammals show that the oxygen-saturation curves between the red blood cells of the fetus and the mother are markedly different. 1. The shape of hemoglobin binding curves is: hyperbolic or sigmoidal 2. a) Based on the binding curves, determine the dissociation constant (Kd) for each hemoglobin complex. (Show correct units.) Kd of HbF + BPG: ________________ Kd of HbA + BPG: _____________________ b) Which has a higher affinity for oxygen? HbF+BPG HbA+BPG 3. a) How many BPG molecule(s) is/are expected to bind one hemoglobin complex? 1 2 3 4 b) BPG binding preferentially stabilizes which state…
- The proximal histidine residues have been replaced by glycine residues by mutation of the cloned genes for both the α and β subunits of hemoglobin. With the tetrameric mutant hemoglobin (all subunits being mutant, α H F8 G, β H F8 G), it was found that the “proximal” coordination bonds to hemes in the mutant protein could be replaced by having the small molecule imidazole in the buffers. Oxygen binding curves for the tetrameric mutant hemoglobin were measured. A. The degree of cooperativity in oxygen binding for the mutant hemoglobin (with imidazole present) would be expected to 1) increase 2) decrease 3) not be affected) compared with the normal protein. B. Justify your answer to part A in terms of what you know about the structural basis of cooperativity in hemoglobin. C. How would the Hill coefficient for the mutant be expected to change compared with nH for normal hemoglobin, which is ~3?This molecule forms a dimer via pi interactions, resulting to effective molecular stacking. If the molecule can inhibit toxic effects at 0.5mM against gastric carcinoma cells, does it mean that the dimer of this nucleoside analogue will exhibit an IC50 of about 0.25mM?Consider the peptide Asp-Lys-Phe-Glu-Asn-Tyr-Gln-Val-Cys. In a single beaker, you treat this peptide with 2 proteases. One protease cleaves at the N-terminus of aromatic R groups and the other cleaves at the C-terminus of polar, non-ionizable R groups. Following the enzymatic digestion, you want to separate your peptide fragments so that you can identify them. You choose to separate the fragments using an anion exchange column. Beginning at pH=6 you apply your peptide fragments to the column and you gradually decrease the pH of the column stopping the separation when the pH of the column equals 4. Omitting chemical structures, write the amino acid sequence of the peptide fragments that are produced from this digest. Write the order that these fragments will elute from the column (if at all). (Relevant pKa values are: 2.1, 3.8, 4.3, 8.3, 9.6, 10.1, and 10.5)

- Lactose permease, a protein of E. coli, is composed of a singlepolypeptide that is 417 amino acids in length. By convention, theamino acids within a polypeptide are numbered from the aminoterminalend to the carboxyl-terminal end. Are the following questionsabout lactose permease true or false?A. Because the sixty-fourth amino acid is glycine and the sixty- eighth amino acid is aspartic acid, the codon for glycine,64, is closer to the 3′ end of the mRNA than the codon for aspartic acid, 68.B. The mRNA that encodes lactose permease must be greater than1241 nucleotides in length.The SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein and its sugars have been the subject of much scientific investigation. S protein, the main focus of SARS-CoV-2 vaccine development, is heavily glycosylated. In fact, it contains 22 N-linked, and at least two O-linked, glycosylation sites. Which of the following statements is most likely to describe this glycosylation process? a.) The SARS-CoV-2 spike protein is probably glycosylated in both the lysosomes and Golgi apparatus of cells in the respiratory tract of an infected subject. b.)
