Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The dipeptide molecule formed from the given DNA base sequence should be given.
Concept Introduction:
Genetic information is included in DNA and most of them code for a particular protein. Consecutive three base pairs represent a single amino acid. Genetic information coded in DNA, first transcribed in to mRNA sequence and using that mRNA molecule translate into an amino acid sequence which can be defined as a protein depending on the number of amino acids.
(b)
Interpretation:
The dipeptide sequence difference should be given when the point mutation is happen in the DNA sequence.
Concept Introduction:
Point mutations are DNA molecular level changes in the sequence. This includes insertions, deletions and substitutions. In given question, it only includes substitutions. Substitution point mutations whre the base pair sequence changes which means one base replace with the other base. This may cause to change the amino acid sequence of the peptide. But, there will be some occasions where the amino acid sequence does not change.

- The protein ribonuclease A in its native, or most stable,form is folded into a compact globular shape: (a) Does the native form have a lower or higher freeenergy than the denatured form, in which the protein isan extended chain? (b) What is the sign of the system’sentropy change in going from the denatured to thefolded form? (c) In the native form, the molecule has four ¬S¬S¬ bonds that bridge parts of the chain.What effect do you predict these four linkages to have onthe free energy and entropy of the native form relativeto the free energy and entropy of a hypothetical foldedstructure that does not have any ¬S¬S¬ linkages?Explain. (d) A gentle reducing agent converts the four¬S¬S¬ linkages in ribonuclease A to eight ¬S¬Hbonds. What effect do you predict this conversion to haveon the tertiary structure and entropy of the protein? (e)Which amino acid must be present for ¬SH bonds toexist in ribonuclease A?arrow_forward4) Paxlovid is treatment for COVID-19 that was recently approved for use because it can drastically reduce the risk for hospitalization and death when taken early in the infection. It is actually a package of two different antiviral drugs. One of those is Nirmatrelvir, which is a modified tripeptide protein mimetic designed to covalently bind to and inhibit the main protease (MPro) from the SARS-CoV-2 virus. This protease recognizes and hydrolyzes peptide bonds at specific points in their sequence, and it is essential for viral replication. a. Below is one of the sequences that Mpro recognizes and cleaves. It cleaves the peptide bond between the glutamine and the glycine. Draw out the structure of a peptide with this sequence, including the appropriate stereochemistry for biological amino acids and assuming the peptide is at physiological pH (pH = 7.4). SGVTFQGKF b. What would the net charge of the peptide be at physiological pH?. c. At what pH would the peptide be net neutral?arrow_forward
