(Dill/Bromberg 31.2) a) Use the Flory-Huggins theory to estimate
the number of congurations of a folded protein chain conned to be
maximal compact, M = N. Simplify the expression using Stirling's
approximation.
(Dill/Bromberg 31.2) a) Use the Flory-Huggins theory to estimate
the number ν(1) of configurations of a folded protein chain
confined to be maximal compact, M = N. Simplify the expression
using Stirling’s approximation. b) If the number of configurations
of an unfolded protein chain is ν1(u) = M(z −1)N−1 (since M
>> N), compute the entropy of folding ∆Sf old = kB ln " ν1(c)
ν1(u)
The two religions with the largest number of followers are
Christianity (31.2% of the global population) and Islam (24.1%)
Many (most?) of the leaders within each faith are male. Focusing on
the world’s two major religions, how is religion used to oppress
women? How does this religious control impact women’s access to
other human rights?
Why does the product of two numbers -having no common factors- that results in a perfect square, make them-the two numbers- perfect squares themselves?
Use valence bond theory to describe the number and types of
hybrid bonding orbitals on the central atom of each of the
following.
(a) AlF4− type of hybridization:
sp-hybridization
sp2-hybridization
sp3-hybridization
sp3d-hybridization
sp3d2-hybridization
In AlF4−, aluminum has hybrid
orbital(s).
(b) IBr3
type of hybridization:
sp-hybridization
sp2-hybridization
sp3-hybridization
sp3d-hybridization
sp3d2-hybridization
In IBr3, iodine has hybrid orbital(s).
(c) CS2
type of hybridization:
sp-hybridization
sp2-hybridization
sp3-hybridization
sp3d-hybridization
sp3d2-hybridization
In CS2, carbon has hybrid orbital(s).
Use the thermodynamic arguement to explain why the perfectly
folded protein is only marginally stable compared to its unfolded
form.
Use the same equation to explain why higher temperatures
denature proteins.
Which of the weak forces is the most important in the overall
protein stability?
