How many fragments would be produced from trypsin digestion if all the positively charged residues in the heparin-binding region of hFGF-1 (FVGLKKNGSCKRGPRTHYGQK) were replaced with negatively charged residues?

Expert Solution

Ans. FVGLKKNGSCKRGPRTHYGQK

Step 1: Basic amino acids (R, K and H) are positively charged. Replace theses residues with negatively charged residue, say aspartate, D. So, the new sequence is-

FVGLDDNGSCDDGPDTDYGQD

Step 2. Trypsin cleaves a peptide bond at the C-terminal of K and R residues except they’re not followed by a proline residues at C-terminal. Since all R and K residues are replaced by negatively charged residues, there is no more trypsin cleavage site. So, the peptide will not be fragmented/ cleaved upon trypsin treatment.

If a protein is partially hydrolyzed, e.g. through trypsin digestion, how would you expect the results of this assay to change? On the other hand, how would you expect the results of the assay to change if a protein was glycated e.g. with maltodextrin?

A negatively charged sample would be expected to migrate towards the anode (positively charged electrode). How then is it that species of all charges are detected in capillary electrophoresis at the cathode (negatively charged) end of the system

In a sawmill, boards and pellets are produced (from the residues that do not become boards). The common costs the sawmill has before the split point in production (for drying, storage and handling) amount to SEK 600,000 per year. A total of 2,000 tonnes of boards and 800 tonnes of pellets are produced during the year. The sales price per tonne of sawn boards is SEK 6,000 and SEK 900 per tonne of pellets. A. Allocate the common costs according...

How many net ATP equivalents (including GTPs) would be produced from the complete catabolism of a 16-carbon fatty acid in the presence of oxygen (products can go through Kreb's, ETC, and ATP synthase)? I believe the answer is 129. Can you break down the step-by-step process of this?
