Describe the properties of an amphipathic alpha helix and identify numbered amino acids in a dodecamer polypeptide that contribute to the chemical properties of this secondary protein structure. Where are amphipathic alpha helices found in a globular cytosolic protein?

Solutions

Expert Solution

Ans-)It is a secondary structure- of protein in which one side of Amino acid is hydrophilic whereas other side is hydrophobic. In each residue, the pattern of Amino acid alters . It is important for the interaction of membrane with proteins and peptides.

The membrane made up of different types of membrane Proteins. Lipid bilayer membrane is made up of it's Mass. The hydrophobic side of amphiphatic helix interacts with hydrophobic tail of lipid in the inner side of bilayer whereas hydrophilic end is exposed to water.

Amphiphatic alpha helix are present at the surface of globular cystolic protein.

What would be the expected orientation of an amphipathic alpha helix occurring in a globular protein in aqueous solution? Select one: a. Hydrophilic amino acids are complementary to hydrophobic amino acids, so the hydrophilic side of the alpha helix should be facing toward the hydrophobic core of the protein. b. A soluble protein will have mostly hydrophilic amino acids in its core, so the helix will be arranged to have the hydrophilic side facing toward the core of the protein....
