Determine which of these four peptides is most likely to become
a beta sheet.
Met-Leu-Lys-Ala-Ser-Ala-Leu-Glu-Lys-Leu-Ser-Glu
Ala-Glu-Met-Leu-Gln-Lys-Arg-Gly-Cys-Gly-Asp-Glu
Lys-Thr-Val-Ile-Trp-Pro-Phe-Tyr-Ile-Gln-Ile-Gly
Arg-Ser-Tyr-Glu-Gly-Leu-Lys-Arg-Ile-Ala-Glu-Ser
I would like help with the question but also I would like to
know what makes a peptide more likely to form a beta sheet over and
alpha helix and vice versa.
The amino acid sequence of human adrenocorticotropin, a
polypeptide hormone, is:
Ser-Tyr-Ser-Met-Glu-His-Glu-Arg-Trp-Gly-Lys-Pro-Val-Gly-Lys-Lys-Arg-Arg-Pro-Val-Lys-Val-Tyr-Pro-Asp-Ala-Gly-Glu-Asp-Gln-Ser-Ala-Glu-Ala-Glu-Pro-Leu-Glu-Phe
a)What is the approximate net charge of this molecule at pH 3? ph
7? ph 9? Assume that the pKs of the terminal -NH3+ and -COOH groups
are 7.8 and 3.6, respectively.
Look at this undecapeptide: Arg Asp Cys Glu Leu Lys Met
Phe NH4+. What would each step do to the udecapeptide?
Draw the final structure.
a. treatement with iodoacetate that had no
affect on the undecapeptide.
b. treatment with 2 x 2-mercaptoethanol
yielding a tripe-tide and octapeptide.
c. treatment with carboxypeptidase A liberated
leucine.
d. treatment with cyanogen bromide yielding a
methionine, a tripeptide and a heptapeptide.
The question states that these amino acids are only some
components of the...
QUESTION 6 Which of the following peptides is most likely an
alpha helix?
Arg-Ala-Tyr-Pro-Met-Gly-Val-Leu-Ser-Asp
Glu-Ala-Tyr-Pro-Met-Gly-Val-Leu-Ser-Lys
Glu-Ala-Tyr-Phe-Met-Gln-Val-Leu-Ser-Lys
Arg-Ala-Tyr-Phe-Met-Gln-Val-Leu-Ser-Asp
Consider the following peptide:
Cys-Arg-Pro-Asp-Thr-Leu-His-Lys-Gln-Glu-His
How is the peptide different at pH = 6
and pH 8? Which of the two pHs would you use to run an ion exchange
column, and would you choose anion or cation exchange?
In the protein adenylate kinase, the C-terminal region is a
helical, with the sequence
Val-Asp-Asp-Val-Phe-Ser-Gln-Val-Cys-Thr-His-Leu-Asp-Thr-Leu-Lys.
a) Underline the hydrophobic amino acids in the sequence.
b) If you identified the correct amino acids you will notice
that there is a periodicity of hydrophobic amino acids. What is
this periodicity and why would this occur?
which rptoleyic enzye would cleave this peptide into the most
fragments?
