1. The active site of an enzyme usually consists of a pocket on the enzyme surface lined with the amino acid side chains necessary to bind the substrate and catalyze its chemical transformation. Carboxypeptidase, which sequentially removes the carboxyl-terminal amino acid residues from its peptide substrates, consists of a single chain of 307 amino acids. The two essential catalytic groups in the active site are furnished by Arg145 and Glu270 .
a. How many amino acid residues apart are these two amino acids?
b. Explain how it is that these two amino acids, so distantly separated in the sequence, can catalyze a reaction occurring in the space of a few tenth of a nanometer?
c. If only these two catalytic groups are involved in the mechanism of hydrolysis, why is it necessary for the enzyme to contain such a large number of aa residues?
2. What level of protein structure would be disrupted by the following below
a. heat
b. strong acid
c. saturated salt solution
d. organic solvents such as alcohol and chloroform

Three plant genes, A, B, and C, are linked and occur in the following order. Genetic distances are given as map units (m.u.):
A________10 m.u.______B_____0 m.u.__C
The genes underlie the following phenotypes:
A/_ = blue flowers, a/a = white flowers
B/_ = tall stems, b/b = short stems
C/_ = green leaves, c/c = red leaves
You cross two individuals with the following genotypes:
AbC/AbC x aBc/aBc
You testcross the resulting F1. The proportion of offspring that will have blue flowers is _

Topic: Protein interaction and phase separation (Subject: Functional Genomics and Bioinformatics)
Please answer both Part A and B if possible, IF NOT PRIORITISE ON PART B
Consider the following scenario. A mutation in gene M was discovered to be a highly penetrant risk factor for disease P. There is no information on what the function of gene M is or what other proteins the gene product of M interacts with. All that is known is that M is abundantly and ubiquitously expressed in all cell types.
A. Describe in detail one (1) experimental approach that can be used for defining what proteins bind to gene product M and how the mutation alters the binding partners.
B. If purified gene product M were found to phase separate into droplets in a test tube, describe an experiment that that would distinguish whether the protein was in a liquid state or a glassy or fibrillar state.
